Summary
This document is page 72 of a legal analysis (likely by Paul Cassell) labeled with a House Oversight Bates number. It argues that the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) applies during the investigative phase of a case, before formal charges are filed. The text cites specific statutory language regarding 'detection' and 'investigation' obligations of the DOJ and venue provisions for pre-prosecution situations to support this interpretation.
