| Venue: | D. Utah |
| Facts: | Talovic buys a gun from Hunter, and uses it in a shooting spree in which Vanessa Quinn is killed. |
| Posture: | Hunter pleads guilty to a misdemeanor. Quinn's parents want to assert victim's rights on her behalf. |
| Issue: | Was Quinn a victim of Hunter's crime? |
| Holding: | No. |
| Rule: | You have to suffer a harm "directly and proximately" caused by the defendant. |
| Reasoning: | Clearly Quinn is a victim, but the chain of events is too attenuated to say that Hunter caused the harm. |
