Summary
This document appears to be a page from a legal text or law review article (dated 2014) included in a House Oversight Committee production regarding the Epstein investigation. The text analyzes Crime Victims' Rights, specifically contrasting the 'limited definition' of a 'case' advocated by 'the Department' (likely DOJ) against the broader protections found in Arizona and Hawaii state laws. It argues that in these states, victims' rights to notification and consultation attach before formal charges are filed, based on probable cause or arrest.
