Summary
This document is a page from a 2007 Utah Law Review article, likely submitted as evidence by attorney David Schoen to the House Oversight Committee. The text provides a legal analysis of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), arguing that victims should have the right to be heard by the judiciary when charges are dismissed (Rule 48) and proposing amendments to Rule 50 to ensure victims' rights to proceedings free from unreasonable delay. It critiques the Advisory Committee's resistance to formalizing these rights in the federal rules.
