Find Federal Criminal Defense Attorney

Are you facing federal criminal charges in a federal court? Federal crimes are the most serious types of crimes that one can be charged with. In America, a federal crime and offense is an act that is illegal by the United States federal legislation. In America, criminal charges and laws and prosecution occur at both federal and state levels, a federal crime is one that is prosecuted under federal criminal law, and not state law. The types of federal agents that run investigations of federal crimes are but not limited to the ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE, IRS, and the Secret Service.

Wiselaws, LLC has been successfully defending clients involved in federal criminal cases for many years now. Our roster of federal attorneys have defended cases i in pretty much every type of federal criminal charge. The federal lawyer that you choose is very important, so the same lawyer you hire for a DUI is not the same lawyer you would hire or retain for a federal criminal case because the complexity of a federal criminal charge in America is much more difficult to defend and is run by a different set of rules than a basic state criminal case. Many times federal law enforcement will set up surveillance to record conversations of the accused and the federal government has unlimited resources to do so in trying to obtain a conviction. Wiselaws, LLC is very experienced in tackling the use of this specific type of evidence in the courtroom, also we do a great job in discrediting the aspects of undercover agents and informants.

The Federal Criminal System

A big difference between the federal court system and the state court system in regards to criminal defense is that when the United States Attorney`s office prosecutes federal criminal charges they tend to have an extremely more amount of time, resources, and money to direct towards a criminal prosecution case than a state`s attorney would. It is very important that anyone hiring a federal criminal defense attorney for a case dealing with criminal charges or federal grand jury proceedings retain an attorney with great experience within the federal court system. Federal prosecutors are usually better attorneys than state prosecutors, we far better academic records as well as case records, and tend to hand pick the criminal cases they which to be apart of.

Federal Criminal Investigations

When you are contacted and sought out by federal authorities in respect to and in relation to a criminal investigation, you must first figure out if they are looking at you in the realm of being a federal witness or if they are looking to charged with a federal crime. The next approach is to make sure the statements you make to federal authorities you make safely and stay far away from the traps and games that like to play, it`s probably best you say nothing and hire a federal defense lawyer.

Federal Grand Jury Testimony

An federal criminal lawyer can also be retained when a person is given a subpoena to testify before a federal grand jury in Angie as like in a federal investigation, but it is not always clear if someone is being subpoenaed as a witness or subject for indictment. It is always important to hire a federal defense attorney in case of these types of situations, as a federal attorney can help work out a deal involving immunity if necessary in exchange for testimony.

The Italian Mafia is Funding Terrorism By Buying Smuggled Hash From ISIS

Italian prosecutor claims that the Italian Mafia is buying hash that was smuggled by ISIS through Libya.

The Italian Mafia and an Islamic terrorist group meet up at a hash-smuggling operation… It sounds like the start of a bad joke, but unfortunately, according to the anti-Mafia and antiterrorism prosecutor, Franco Roberti, it’s the grim reality in the country of Italy. The Italian prosecutor claims that hash is being purchased by the Italian Mafia from Libya, which is being smuggled in by the Islamic terrorist sect ISIS.

The North African hash is being used a major source of income for the Islamic State, and the Italian Mafia is apparently a loyal customer. It’s quite profitable for the Mafia as well, which earns about 32 billion euros ($36.10 billion) a year through their illegal drug trades, a sizable portion of which is made up of hash and cannabis. It’s seems reasonable for Roberti to assume that ISIS is heavily involved. According to Ahmad Moussalli, a political science professor at the American University in Beirut, territorial expansion by ISIS on the Syrian border has put them in control of a vast amount of cannabis fields.

Instead of trying to crack down even more viciously on Italy’s use of cannabis and hash, which the government already spends millions on combating, Roberti has come forth with a much more level-headed approach. Instead, the prosecutor believes that the time has come for Italy to rescind their harsh marijuana laws, citing that decriminalization would negatively affect both the Mafia and the Islamic State.

The decriminalization of marijuana in Italy could help land a potentially critical blow to the funding of ISIS, which according to a recently published IHS Conflict Monitor report, has already dropped from $80 million in monthly revenue to $56 million since the middle of 2015. According to Roberti, a major portion of the terrorist cell’s revenue comes from drug trafficking, and decriminalization of marijuana in Italy could help put a major dent in that.

To Roberti, it makes sense to persecute the Mafia and the Islamic State in a similar manner, seeing as that Italian Mafia families, particularly in the south, have been long proponents of terrorist activities. The Mafia and ISIS could be more intertwined than it would seem at first glance, as both are heavily dependent on drug trafficking as a revenue source. But does Roberti have a sound argument for decriminalization? I would have to argue that he does.

“We spend a lot of resources uselessly. We have not succeeded in reducing cannabinoid trafficking. On the contrary, it’s increasing,” said Roberti. “Is it worth using investigative energy to fight street sales of soft drugs?”

Prospective Jurors Refuse to Serve Under Aaron Persky, the Judge in Brock Turner Case

Stassa Edwards

The East Bay Times reports that as many as ten prospective jurors have refused to serve under Aaron Persky, the judge who presided over Brock Turner’s sentencing, in a new, unrelated case.

According to the paper, one prospective juror stood up and said, “I can’t believe what you did,” referring to the six-month sentence Persky gave Turner after the ex-Stanford student was convicted of three felonies, including assault with the intent to commit rape. Another juror said, “I’m sorry, I can’t be here.” Persky’s new case is a misdemeanor stolen property case.

Each time a juror refused, Persky said “I understand,” thanked the juror and dismissed them.

Since Persky gave Turner his sentence (which will likely be reduced to three months) last week, there have been calls for his resignation and removal. Earlier this week, the Daily Dot covered two petitions for Persky’s recall, including one by Stanford professor Michele Dauber. On Sunday, Dauber shared a letterwritten by Dan Turner, Brock’s father, advocating for leniency. In that letter, Dan Turner described his son’s sexual assault on an unconscious woman as “20 minutes of action.”

Persky, who was recently reelected to the bench after running unopposed, has a history of presiding over controversial rape cases. In 2011, Persky presided over the civil case of an underage victim who alleged that she was gang-raped by multiple members of the De Anza College basketball team in 2007.

That case has shades of the Turner case: an unconscious victim, college athletes, and bystanders who intervened to end the assault, all on a college campus. Though none of the alleged De Anza rapists were ever prosecuted (a deeply controversial decision made by Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office), the victim sought recourse in civil court, suing for $7.5 million in damages.

During that civil trial, Persky made a controversial evidentiary ruling whichallowed the jury to view seven photographs of the alleged victim “partying about a year or so after the alleged gang rape. In the photos, she is scantily clad, wearing a garter belt and what appear to be fishnet stockings.” Lawyers for the defendant claimed that the photographs were a “direct contradiction” of the alleged victim’s claims. The victim, inevitably, lost the lawsuit.

Though the De Anza case didn’t go “viral,” it speaks, perhaps, to the contradictions of a judge who campaigned as tough on sexual predators and a vocal advocate of victims.

US to turn drug cartel founder over to Mexico

MEXICO CITY –  The U.S. Embassy in Mexico says Sinaloa cartel co-founder Hector “El Guero” Palma will be turned over to Mexican authorities after his release from a U.S. prison.

The U.S. bureau of prisons says Palma will be released Saturday. Palma served five years in a Mexican prison before being extradited to the United States, where he was sentenced to 16 years for transporting 50 kilograms of cocaine.

It is unclear whether Palma still faces any charges in Mexico.

Attorney General Arely Gomez says prosecutors are looking through files for any remaining criminal cases. She said that in some cases the statute of limitations has expired.

Palma was arrested June 23, 1995 in western Mexico.

The embassy said Thursday that “the United States and Mexico enjoy strong cooperation in security.”
