Summary
This document is an excerpt from a 2007 Utah Law Review article, included in a legal filing by David Schoen (likely related to the House Oversight investigation). It discusses the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and the ethical obligation of prosecutors to inform the court of a victim's objection to a plea deal, citing the 'Casey' case. It also proposes amendments to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 12.1 to protect victim contact information during alibi defense disclosures.
