On February 6th, Doug presented at the “Winning Strategies Seminar” in Houston, Texas. The seminar was put on by the Training division of the Defender Services Office. Doug presented on defending clients charged with the illegal-entry charge (8 U.S.C. § 1325). The charge is one of the most common crimes prosecuted in federal court, and Doug spoke to attorneys about defenses to raise in these cases. The seemingly simple illegal-entry statute is actually quite complex, and those complexities allow defense attorneys to raise righteous defenses.
If you have a client charged with illegal entry and you’d like to chat about possible defenses and motions, please feel free to email Doug at dkeller@flowerskeller.com.
