Critique of Advisory Committee Proposal Limiting Crime Victims' Rights to Address Disclosure and Face‑to‑Face Meetings

Critique of Advisory Committee Proposal Limiting Crime Victims' Rights to Address Disclosure and Face‑to‑Face Meetings The passage raises procedural due‑process concerns about a proposed rule change affecting crime‑victim privacy, but it does not name any high‑profile officials, agencies, or financial transactions. It offers a legal argument rather than a concrete investigative lead. Key insights: Victims may be forced to disclose home address to defendants under the Advisory Committee's draft rule.; Proposed face‑to‑face meetings between victims and defendants could violate federal jurisdiction limits and due‑process rights.; Current rule limits (Rule 15) restrict victim depositions to exceptional circumstances, which the proposal appears to circumvent.
