Summary

This document is an excerpt from a 2007 Utah Law Review article (likely by Paul Cassell) included in files produced by attorney David Schoen to the House Oversight Committee. It discusses legal arguments regarding the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (Rules 60 and 48) specifically concerning the rights of victims to be heard during release hearings and case dismissals. The text critiques the Advisory Committee's approach as an 'empty gesture' and advocates for stronger requirements for courts to consider victims' views.
