Summary
The Reinforcing Crime Victims' Rights Act strengthens federal protections for crime victims in federal and D.C. criminal cases by expanding their rights to be informed about and participate in plea negotiations, deferred prosecution agreements, and case resolutions. The bill requires prosecutors to make best efforts to notify victims of their rights, provide information about legal assistance, and allow victims to be represented by attorneys in court proceedings. It also establishes procedures for victims to enforce their rights through motions and writs of mandamus, with expedited appellate review, and permits victims to seek annulment of certain agreements that resolve cases without prosecution.
