This document discusses the unequal bargaining power between the government and defendants in plea agreements, citing legal precedents and academic works. It highlights that ambiguities in such agreements should be construed against the government and emphasizes the significant power held by the United States Attorney in the legal process, making plea bargains akin to contracts of adhesion where the defendant has little choice but to accept the offer.
This document is the first page of a 2007 Utah Law Review article by Paul G. Cassell regarding the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA). It argues that proposed amendments to Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure are insufficient to protect victims. The document was likely produced by attorney David Schoen (whose name appears in the footer) to the House Oversight Committee, as indicated by the Bates stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017636'. This is relevant to the Epstein case as the CVRA was the central statute invoked regarding the failure to notify victims of Epstein's non-prosecution agreement.
