Summary
This document is a page from a 2007 Utah Law Review article (page 874) discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). It critically analyzes the 'Advisory Committee's' narrow interpretation of the Act, contrasting it with the broad legislative intent expressed by Senators Kyl and Feinstein to ensure victims are treated with fairness and due process. The document appears to be part of a production to the House Oversight Committee from the files of David Schoen, a lawyer known for representing Jeffrey Epstein, likely relevant to arguments regarding the violation of victims' rights in the Epstein case.
