Document Summary

This page from a legal publication (likely by Paul Cassell) critiques the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). It argues that the OLC deceptively quoted Senator Jon Kyl to suggest victim rights only apply after charging. The text cites a June 6, 2011 letter from Senator Kyl to Attorney General Eric Holder where Kyl clarifies that the CVRA was intended to provide rights to victims even before an indictment is filed.
