In criminal cases, "I WROTE
THE BOOK," literally. The exact title is REVERSIBLE ERRORS
IN FEDERAL CRIMINAL CASES. It's published by Knowles
Publishing Company out of Fort Worth, Texas and it covers
all the cases that were reversed by the Federal Circuit
Courts.
James Folsom
Trial Attorney &
Author in both Criminal Law & Negligence
I was a prosecutor in four different jurisdictions, i.e. for
the City of San Antonio, for Bexar County, Texas, for Nueces
County, Texas and for New Castle County, Delaware. As a
prosecutor for the State of Delaware, I rewrote the drug
forfeiture laws that they are still using today. On the
other side of the coin, I was selected out of dozens to be
the first Federal Public Defender assigned to Delaware. I'm
licensed and have practiced before all the courts of
Delaware, the Federal District Court of Delaware, the third
and fifth Federal Appeals Courts and the United States
Supreme Court.
I have prosecuted and defended everything from jay-walking
to capital murder, from possession of a joint of marijuana
to trafficking in tons, from sodomy to following too close.
On the last capital murder case I handled, the co-defendant
got the death penalty while my client only got three years.
MY TRIAL
PHILOSOPHY = AGGRESSIVE COMPASSION
And while I don't claim to win
every case I have tried-- like some unscrupulous local
attorneys falsely claim-- I have won the majority of the
cases I've handled.
Since your looking at my site, I'll give you some free
advice. If a policeman reads you your Miranda rights shut
up! Most people don't realize it but you don't have to be
guilty to incriminate yourself. I'd like to give an example:
Suppose you decided to take a trip to New York. You went for
one day and came back and no one knew you went. But on that
day, your worst enemy was killed when someone matching your
description pushed him off the Statue of Liberty. The police
--through their investigation-- learn that you and he were
enemies, so they go to your house and question you. If you
don't exercise your rights, you could be the one that closes
their file. And your statement that you were in New York
that day could be the one thing the jury relies upon to
convict you. In other words, don't talk to the police-- talk
to your lawyer. Call me at Toll Free 866.877.4079
or email me below. |
