This legal document, part of a court filing, argues that victims identified as Sarah and Elizabeth should be permitted to read their victim impact statements aloud at Maxwell's criminal sentencing. It cites legal precedents, such as United States v. Wilson and Kelly v. California, to support the court's authority to consider such testimony and asserts that doing so will not cause unfair prejudice to Maxwell. A footnote clarifies that Maxwell does not have the right to cross-examine victims during sentencing hearings.
This document is a page from a 2007 Utah Law Review article (likely authored by Paul Cassell) discussing the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and criticizing the NACDL's stance on cross-examining victims. It argues against giving defendants the right to cross-examine victims regarding their status, citing potential trauma and lack of legal precedent. The document bears the name "David Schoen" (Epstein's former attorney) and a "HOUSE_OVERSIGHT" Bates stamp, indicating it was likely submitted as evidence or discovery material during a congressional investigation into the Epstein case, possibly regarding the non-prosecution agreement and violations of victims' rights.
