Federal Criminal System Grand Jury Testimony | Grand Jury Testimony |
The grand jury is how federal prosecutors formally charge or indict a
person with a federal crime. The federal prosecutors call witnesses
before the grand jury, which then decides if there is sufficient
evidence to indict someone with a federal crime. When a person receives
a subpoena to testify before a grand jury, as with an investigation, it
is not always clear whether the federal government has subpoenaed the
person as a witness or as a potential target for indictment. As with an
investigation, a federal criminal defense lawyer can help a grand jury
witness determine the likely purpose of the subpoena, how to avoid
potential traps and pitfalls when providing testimony, or when to "take
the fifth". The lawyer may also be able to work out a deal for
immunity, or for "use immunity", which means the government will not
use testimony the witness provided before the grand jury in a criminal
prosecution against the witness.Tags: arizona criminal defense lawyer phoenix criminal defense attorney mesa arizona criminal defense lawyer east mesa criminal defense scottsdale arizona criminal defense lawyer arizona criminal defense criminal defense dui felony misdemeanor dwi driving while intoxicated driving under the influence domestic violence homicide robbery burglary and theft assault and aggravated assault post-conviction relief homicide forgery credit card fraud weapons gun offenses juvenile cases drug offenses federal firearms offenses crimes against the person sexual abuse child pornography property crimes fraud money laundering immigration crimes conspiracy and attempt mesa arizona phoenix arizona east valley arizona scottsdale arizona tempe arizona tucson arizona flagstaff arizona glendale arizona prescott arizona peoria arizona chandler arizona gilbert arizona fountain hills arizona paradise valley arizona vladimir gagic maricopa county |
