False Arrest Of Woman On Identity Theft Charges Leads To Lawsuit

March 16, 2012
| Share

A recent case shows the importance of having a top Michigan criminal defense attorney representing you and how overzealous law enforcement can turn your life upside down.

In Milligan v. United States, a woman was falsely arrested as part of a 24-state round up of fugitives. Nearly 11, 000 people were arrested, including an innocent woman, Paula Milligan. A data-entry clerk responsible for entering the warrant information for processing allowed the database to auto-fill all of the entries, and in the process identified the wrong woman. The woman arrested had had her name in the system solely based on a parking ticket.

If you have been arrested it is important to contact an aggressive Michigan criminal defense attorney immediately to protect your rights and investigate the charges against you. Fighting back right away can help protect your reputation.

Here, based on the inaccurate information in the warrant, a police officer arrived at Milligan's house and arrested her for forgery and four counts of identity theft. As part of the operation, the marshalls had contacted local media outlets to ride along and report on the operation, agreeing to air the report only after the operation was over. The day after the charges were dropped against Milligan, the news story aired showing footage of her arrest. The story was also on its website.

Based on police error, Milligan filed several lawsuits against the United States and the U.S. Marshals Service, including false arrest, false imprisonment and assault and battery.

Unfortunately far too often in an effort to crack down on crime, law enforcement over steps its bounds and makes mistakes. The rights given to criminal defendants under the Constitution extend to all U.S. citizens. These include such fundamental rights as the right to counsel, the right to due process, the right to a jury trial, the privilege against self-incrimination, and the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. Not only does the constitution guarantee you certain rights but also law provides that you cannot be held in custody without probable cause.

Bank Fraud Jury Verdict Overturned Based On A Lack Of Evidence

February 9, 2012

White-collar crimes can be some of the most complex and technical cases. In a recent Sixth Circuit case, United States v. Parkes, a businessman - Timothy Parkes - was convicted of 10 counts of bank fraud concerning the making of alleged fraudulent entries in the books of a small bank. However on appeal, the 6th circuit - which includes Michigan - reversed this white-collar crime jury verdict based on a lack of evidence.

If you have are under investigation for or have been charged with a white-collar crime such as fraud or embezzlement, it is important to speak with an experienced fraud lawyer in Michigan to immediately begin preparing your defense. Fraud charges often require in-depth knowledge of complex financial matters in order to investigate and defend. Consulting with a knowledgeable Michigan white-collar crimes defense attorney is important to ensure you get the best defense possible.

In Parkes, the prosecution claimed that the businessman had worked together with the bank president to create fraudulent entries meant to disguise troubled loans. Parkes was indicted for and convicted of ten counts of bank fraud pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1344. At trial, in order to prove a violation of bank fraud the prosecution must show beyond a reasonable doubt that (1) the defendant knowingly executed or attempted to execute a scheme to defraud a financial institution; (2) that the defendant did so with the intent to defraud; and (3) that the financial institution was insured by the FDIC.

Parkes alleged on appeal that the no evidence existed at trial that he knowingly executed a scheme to defraud, intended to defraud the bank or even participated in the creation of the bank entries. The Sixth Circuit agreed. The appellate court determined that the lower court improperly excluded a number of key pieces of defense evidence, including the fact that the bank president on his own had made identical fraudulent entries.
