Summary
This document is page 14 of a 78-page excerpt from a 2007 Utah Law Review article, likely authored by Paul Cassell, discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). It argues for amending Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (specifically Rule 1 and Rule 11) to align with the CVRA, quoting Senators Feinstein and Kyl on the Act's intent to reform the legal culture surrounding victims' rights. The document bears a footer for attorney David Schoen and a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp, suggesting it was part of the congressional investigation into the handling of the Epstein case (where the CVRA was a central legal issue).
