How a Prosecutor Decides What Cases to Bring, Whom to Charge, and What Crime(s) to Charge
Wednesday, September 10
MacColl Room at 2:00pm
First Presbyterian Church
201 S. 21st St
|
How prosecutors operate is a mystery to most people. The purpose of this talk is to peel back the veil and help people understand how a prosecutor’s mind works: how he sizes up a possible case; whether he should even prosecute; how he chooses the person(s) he prosecutes; what charge(s) he should present to the grand jury; and other tactical concerns. Questions are always welcome.
In order to adequately review the content of this program it will be divided into 2 parts.
Howard Wiener is a retired career prosecutor (Assistant U.S. Attorney) with the Department of Justice. He has handled many kinds of cases and had numerous trials over his career. He has lectured to fellow prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and law students. He has also given talks at senior citizen centers and a business forum on how to avoid being a fraud and cybercrime victim.
