Summary
This document is a page from a 2005 BYU Law Review article discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and the inherent power of courts to appoint counsel for indigent victims. It cites various legal precedents (such as Bothwell v. Republic Tobacco Co.) to argue that victims require legal representation to ensure a fair process, as neither prosecutors nor defendants prioritize victim rights. The document bears the name of attorney David Schoen in the footer and a House Oversight Committee Bates stamp, suggesting it was submitted by Schoen (who represented Jeffrey Epstein) as part of congressional inquiries or legal arguments regarding victim representation.
