Defenses to Federal Criminal Charges 

The following are just a few of the possible defenses for such cases:

  • Unlawful search and seizure- If drugs, child pornography, or other evidence indicating the commission of a federal offense was obtained by the authorities in an illegal fashion, a motion to dismiss that evidence could be filed on that basis prior to trial. If successful, such a motion would eliminate the government’s evidence and therefore severely weaken their case against you.
  • Entrapment- If it can be shown that law enforcement agents coerced you into committing a crime which you otherwise may not have committed, a skilled federal crime defense attorney may be able to argue that you were the victim of entrapment and should therefore not be convicted.
  • Insufficient evidence- Since the burden of proof falls on the prosecutor, it is their responsibility to provide sufficient and convincing evidence of your guilt. If your federal offense attorney is able to prevent evidence from being used in trial or show that the prosecutor simply doesn’t have enough evidence to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, then you may avoid a conviction.
  • No intent to commit a crime- If it cannot be proven that you intended to commit the crime for which you’ve been charged, it will be difficult for the prosecutor to successfully convict you.
