Robert G. Morvillo and Robert J. Anello, partners at Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason, Anello & Bohrer, review significant opinions that have an impact on white-collar practice from the U.S. Supreme Court's 2008-2009 term. Despite the fact that many believe the current Court is conservative in criminal matters, two of the three decisions were decided in favor of defendants. The first deals with the admissibility of scientific forensic reports which offer evidence against a defendant and the constitutional right to confrontation. The second addresses the Double Jeopardy Clause and a defendant's exposure to reprosecution when a jury has rendered an acquittal on some counts, yet hung on the others. Finally, the Supreme Court addressed the meaning of "aggravated felony" in connection with economic crimes as contained in the immigration statute allowing for the deportation of an individual convicted of such a felony.

In their White-Collar Crime column, Robert G. Morvillo and Robert J. Anello, partners at Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason, Anello & Bohrer, write: Civil protective orders play an indispensible role mitigating the effects of the federal system's liberal discovery rules by protecting the parties' privacy and confidentiality concerns. Currently, circuit courts disagree as to the rules to be applied when the power given a grand jury conflicts with a court's authority to protect the confidentiality and secrecy of the information sought. This disagreement raises serious issues for practitioners representing clients in parallel proceedings.

Robert G. Morvillo and Robert J. Anello, partners at Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason & Silberberg, write that after all of the upheaval in the courts concerning sentencing during the past year, perhaps only one thing has remained steadily predictable when it comes to white-collar sentences: lengthy sentences are here to stay.

Robert G. Morvillo and Robert J. Anello, partners at Morvillo, Abramowitz, Grand, Iason, Anello & Bohrer, write that mail and wire fraud, traditionally the darlings of federal prosecutors, have been used to reach a broad range of activity not covered by other federal statutes. But two recent high profile cases from the Southern District and the Fifth Circuit suggest that prosecutors finally may have located the statutes' breaking points.
