Summary
This document is a page from a 2005 BYU Law Review article included in a House Oversight Committee production (Bates stamp HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017727), bearing the name of attorney David Schoen. The text analyzes the legal definition of a "Victim" under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and proposes amending Rule 1 to align with the CVRA's broad definition. It cites various case laws (Hughey, Follet, Moore) and legislative acts (MVRA, VWPA) to support the rationale that the definition of a victim should be standardized and broadly interpreted.
