Summary
This document is an excerpt from a 2005 BYU Law Review article (page 11 of 52) discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and the necessity of amending Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (specifically Rule 11) to ensure victims' rights are not ignored during plea hearings. It cites the Oklahoma City bombing case as an example where victims were excluded due to rigid adherence to evidence rules. The document bears the footer 'DAVID SCHOEN' and a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, indicating it was likely part of the materials reviewed during the congressional oversight of the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically regarding the non-prosecution agreement and the failure to notify victims.
