Summary
This document is an excerpt from a 2007 Utah Law Review article (page 65 of 78) submitted by David Schoen to the House Oversight Committee. It argues legally and ethically for the inclusion of specific victim notification requirements in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, referencing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). The text critiques the Advisory Committee for failing to incorporate a rule requiring victims be notified of their rights, drawing parallels to Miranda rights for defendants.
