Potential Issues in Federal Criminal Cases

Various issues can arise during federal criminal defense cases. When taking timely and effective action can mean the difference between a conviction at trial and avoiding allegations, you need the federal defense lawyers to handle them. Here are some potential issues:

1. Illegally Obtained Evidence

Federal agents and prosecutors conducting investigations are limited by the Constitutional protections afforded suspects or defendants. If their actions violate constitutional rights, any evidence they obtain may be deemed illegally-obtained. Illegally-obtained evidence is not admissible in court, subject to certain limitations. It is up to you to ensure that courts deem illegally-obtained evidence inadmissible.

2. Conspiracy Allegations

You can face substantial fines and prolonged imprisonment under the federal conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. § 371, without committing substantive offenses. Various federal statutes contain conspiracy provisions, and because of the laws’ breadth, conspiracies are among prosecutors’ most-potent tools in investigations and prosecutions.

3. Attempt Allegations

Targets are accused of attempts in the absence of completed criminal offenses. Often, charges for attempts carry similar penalties as those associated with the targeted offenses. Targets must be extremely careful not to expose themselves to prosecution for unsuccessful crimes.

4. Multiple Related and Unrelated Charges

Defendants often face multiple charges for both related and unrelated crimes in federal cases. Allegations in federal cases commonly include mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering, which can trigger almost any criminal conduct.

5. Confidential Informant or “Co-Conspirator” Testimony

Confidential informants or alleged co-conspirators can provide testimony that harms your case. It is necessary to overcome it during your defense.

6. Sentencing Guidelines

The Federal Sentencing Guidelines are used by prosecutors and judges to determine what penalties to seek and impose in the event of a conviction at trial. Defense strategies that could avert “unsuccessful” criminal offenses exposing targets for prosecution should be avoided.

Potential Penalties in Federal Criminal Cases

The penalties for most federal crimes range from fines, probation, federal imprisonment, restitution, recoupments, and other financial penalties. Defendants convicted of certain crimes may also face additional statutory penalties such as Medicare and Medicaid exclusion, among others.
