Summary

This document is an excerpt from a 2005 BYU Law Review article discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), specifically focusing on a victim's right to attend court proceedings and be heard. The text analyzes the rationale behind allowing victims to be present during trials and cites various state constitutions and federal rules (Rule 615). The document bears the name of attorney David Schoen in the footer and a House Oversight Bates stamp, suggesting it was used as legal research or an exhibit in proceedings related to the investigation of the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, likely concerning the violation of victims' rights.
