Rights of the accused have nothing to do with being just or unjust to the victim since, using the U.S. justice system as the example, the accused is innocent until proven guilty. In practice and in reality, this can actually be very unjust to a victim, depending on the crime, as the victim had their rights stripped of them by whoever committed a crime against them yet the accused has a myriad of rights to protect them and the process of proving guilt can be further insult to injury to the victim. When guilt is proved beyond a reasonable doubt, the victim is supposed to feel like justice was served. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
