The Miami U.S. attorney's office has recused itself from the Jeffrey Epstein case due to its involvement in prior decisions related to Epstein. This means that the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia will oversee the case, which involves Epstein's victims and their attempts to seek justice for alleged crimes committed by Epstein, including abuse of underage girls. The reassignment has been criticized by some as a move to protect Epstein from facing consequences for his actions.

The government has made a new allegation in the Jeffrey Epstein case, claiming that two of the victims were complicit in his crimes and therefore cannot be considered victims under federal law. This claim was made during a routine status check on a 2008 lawsuit tied to Epstein's plea deal. The victims' attorney, Brad Edwards, plans to have other victims testify at trial and has filed a motion to overturn the non-prosecution agreement that protected Epstein from serious charges and prison time.

The article discusses the importance of treating crime victims fairly in the criminal process by integrating them into federal rules of procedure. The author argues that current proposed amendments to these rules are inadequate and recommends broader measures for fully protecting crime victims' rights. The focus is on the Sixth Amendment and the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), and how they relate to victim participation in the legal system.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_014037.txt
The article discusses whether crime victims should have rights during criminal investigations, focusing on the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and its applicability before criminal charges are filed. The authors argue that if victims do not have rights during investigations, many will never receive any protection or support from the legal system. They also address a recent memorandum by the Justice Department contending that the CVRA does not extend rights to crime victims until formal charges are filed. The article is published in the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, with authors Paul G. Cassell, Nathanael J. Mitchell, and Bradley J. Edwards.
