Summary
This document is page 42 of 52 from a 2005 BYU Law Review article (vol. 835) discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and its interaction with Federal Rules of Evidence and Criminal Procedure (specifically Rule 615 and Rule 43). The text argues for explicit procedural rules to protect a victim's right to attend trials, referencing the Oklahoma City bombing trial as a failure of the previous system. The document bears the name of David Schoen (Jeffrey Epstein's attorney) and a House Oversight Bates stamp, suggesting it was part of a legal file produced during congressional investigations into the handling of the Epstein case, likely regarding the violation of victims' rights under the CVRA.
