Case Result:
The client was charged with several counts of interstate theft and rebranding of
pharmaceuticals and was facing a maximum of ten years imprisonment. We first attempted to
convince the United States Attorney’s Office to authorize pretrial diversion for the defendant.
The diversion request was based on our review of the evidence, recognition that at least half of
the criminal conduct charged in the Indictment was verifiably untrue and the Defendant’s
background and character (our client was a decorated Iraq war veteran). Ultimately, the
government agreed to allow our client to plead to a lessor included misdemeanor offense of one
of the counts of the Indictment with the remaining counts of the Indictment being dismissed. At
sentencing, our client was sentenced to one day credit time served.
