On June 25th, Doug gave a virtual presentation on “Strategies for Defending § 1325 cases” on behalf of the Federal Defender Training Division. The illegal-entry charge is one of the most common crimes prosecuted in federal court, and Doug spoke to criminal defense attorneys on how to raise issues in the trial court and on appeal in these cases. The seemingly simple illegal-entry statute is actually quite complex, and those complexities allow defense attorneys to raise righteous defenses. Doug spoke about those defenses and how attorneys can make the government regret its choice to bring these charges.
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.
