Summary
This document is an excerpt from a 2005 BYU Law Review article, likely submitted by attorney David Schoen to the House Oversight Committee. It analyzes the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), detailing specific rights afforded to victims, such as the right to be heard and the right to restitution, and argues that the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure must be amended to reflect these statutory rights. The text cites Senators Kyl and Feinstein and references the Oklahoma City bombing case as a catalyst for the legislation.
