Document Summary

This document is page 87 of a 2014 legal academic article discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). It critiques the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) position that victims' rights only apply after charges are filed, citing the 'Epstein case' (Does v. United States, S.D. Fla. 2011) as a precedent where the court concluded the CVRA contemplates pre-charge application. The text argues that limiting rights to the prosecution phase renders the statutory words 'detection' and 'investigation' meaningless.
