11th Circuit to Consider Whether Right to Counsel Is Lost When Assets Are Frozen
This is going to be quite the interesting case. How can a defendant get a good defense lawyer and mount a challenge to charges if all of their assets are frozen?
11th Circuit to Consider Whether Right to Counsel Is Lost When Assets Are Frozen:
For six years, Kerri Kaley worked at a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, selling the company's surgical innovations to hospitals. But she and about two dozen other salespeople of J&J's Ethicon Endosurgery got into trouble selling inventory that hospitals no longer wanted on the gray market, an indictment charged. Now the New York woman and her husband are the poster children in an appeal pending before the 11th Circuit on the legal standard for pre-trial seizure of a defendant's assets.
