As of this writing, the ultimate disposition of Senator Kyl's bill remains uncertain. But what 1s certain is that congressional interest in crime victims’ rights will remain strong. Congress has been working on far reaching crime victims’ rights legislation for several decades now and, indeed, many in Congress favor an amendment to the United States Constitution to protect victims' rights. °!! Against that backdrop, it is unlikely that Congress will permit the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure to only haphazardly protect victims’ rights. If the Advisory Committee does not complete the task of comprehensively reforming the Rules to protect victims, Congress almost certainly will - and should - finish the job.
