THE AUTHOR, AN ATTORNEY WITH BOTH PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE EXPERIENCE, EXPLORES THE QUESTION OF THE INSULATION OF THIRD-PARTY DOCUMENTS FROM THE GOVERNMENT IN WHITE COLLAR FRAUD INVESTIGATIONS.
Abstract
VARIOUS DEFENSE STRATEGIES ARE DISCUSSED, AS WELL AS CONFLICTING COURT DECISIONS. THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES THAT THE BEST WAY IN WHICH TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE SELF-INCRIMINATION WITH RESPECT TO THIRD-PARTY DOCUMENTS IS ON A BARE RECORD, WITH NO EXPLANATION OF POSSESSION OFFERED TO THE COURT.
