SRZ attorney Betty Santangelo has co-authored the chapter titled “Representation Prior to Indictment” in Defending Federal Criminal Cases: Attacking the Government’s Proof , published by the Law Journal Press. This book equips defense attorneys with the legal arguments and tactics they can and should use to challenge the government’s evidence at every stage of a criminal case. Beginning with the assessment of whether a defendant should cooperate with the government, this authoritative guide provides advice on the substance and timing of defense motions, objections and appeals, as well as open questions and splits among the circuits. Betty’s chapter covers federal criminal investigations, issues in preindictment defense representation, special issues relating to investigations of corporations, and preindictment presentation to the government.
