This document page, bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp, is an excerpt from a legal analysis (likely a law review article) criticizing the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). It argues that the OLC incorrectly concluded that victims' rights do not apply before an indictment is filed, contradicting the legislative intent of Senator Jon Kyl, a primary sponsor of the Act. The text highlights that even the OLC acknowledged their interpretation might contradict 'good practice' regarding pre-charging plea discussions, a critical legal issue relevant to the Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement controversy.
