The article discusses the importance of treating crime victims fairly in the criminal process by integrating them into federal rules of procedure.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_017603.txt
This document discusses whether crime victims have rights during criminal investigations using the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) as a focal point. The issue was brought to light when the Justice Department released a memorandum stating that the CVRA does not grant any rights to crime victims until formal charges are filed, which means many crime victims may never receive their due rights in the criminal justice process. The authors argue that crime victims should have rights during investigations to ensure they are treated fairly and can participate actively in the legal proceedings. The document references a law review article by Paul G. Cassell, Nathanael J. Mitchell, and Bradley J. Edwards on this topic.

Dershowitz.

They also point out that Dershowitz has failed to provide specific evidence to contest Jane Doe #3's allegations that he sexually molested her, despite claiming in the media that he has irrefutable proof that her allegations are false.

The document discusses regulatory issues and the burden they place on businesses, highlighting the need for regulatory relief to stimulate job creation and economic growth. The author mentions President Obama's Executive order "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review" as a positive step but emphasizes the need for more action from the administration and individual agencies to provide real regulatory relief for job creators. One proposed solution is to strengthen the Unfunded Mandates Relief Act, which requires federal regulators to evaluate the cost of rules and consider alternatives with less cost. The document also mentions that while the current administration has said some of the right things regarding regulations, it has moved in the wrong direction, resulting in a sharp increase in economically significant rules.
