Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The mandatory victim restitution provisions of the bill require a federal court to impose mandatory restitution, without consideration of the defendant's ability to pay. This applies in any case in which an identifiable victim or victims suffered physical or pecuniary loss from an offense that is a crime of violence, an offense against property (including any offense committed by fraud or deceit), or a crime related to tampering with consumer products.

Another provision in the bill requires a federal trial court, in any criminal trial where the venue is changed from the state in which the case was originally brought and more than 350 miles from the location in which those proceedings originally would have taken place, to order closed circuit televising of the proceedings back to the original location. The televised coverage is to be provided for such persons the court determines have a compelling interest and who are otherwisebecause of inconvenience or expenseunable to attend the trial.
