Rights for the families of crime victims? What should they be? Why should they be? To assuage their feelings, that's all. The Texas Constitution (Artilce I - see below) contains something like the rights you are talking about (perhaps). Those rights contained therein serve one purpose: to assuage feelings. And the objectivity of the criminal justice system is, therefore, compromised by those rights. What rights would you like to see codified?
This is an interesting topic for a different discussion. Here, we were discussing Susan Atkins and whether she should be released to die at home with her loved ones. Personally, I vote no.
