Summary
This document is page 81 of a legal article or report (dated 2014) discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and the Victims' Rights and Restitution Act (VRRA). It argues against the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) interpretation that victim rights only attach after judicial proceedings begin, asserting that protections should exist during the investigation phase ('suspected offender'). The document specifically critiques the OLC's definition of the word 'case.' It is part of a larger document dump related to the House Oversight Committee's investigation (likely regarding the handling of the Epstein case by the DOJ).
