This document is page 241 of a DOJ report discussing the legal interpretation of the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) between 2010 and 2011. It details the Office of Legal Counsel's (OLC) determination that victim rights do not 'vest' until formal criminal charges are filed, a stance maintained in the 2011 Guidelines revision despite Senator Jon Kyl's argument that this conflicted with the Act's plain language. The text highlights the friction between internal DOJ policy regarding pre-indictment plea negotiations and the legislative intent of the CVRA.
