Book excerpt: Written by a seasoned criminal defense attorney, Defense Investigation and Discovery in Criminal Cases shares trial-tested investigation and discovery methods. The book combines an exploration of theoretical and jurisprudential concepts that govern a defendant's right to obtain information from the prosecutor with practical advice on integrating discovery information into an effective defense. This book examines the history of discovery in criminal cases, including the defendant's due process right recognized in Brady and its progeny, while exploring constitutional, statutory, and rule-based arguments to compel the government to provide discovery to defendants. The author includes a fifty-state survey on discovery rules and statutes that identifies the trend toward more liberal discovery and provides tools for defense counsel in jurisdictions where discovery is limited. Additionally, this essential title highlights innovative ways that defense counsel can get the information they need outside of the traditional discovery process and lays out ethical standards for professional conduct as it relates to the right of discovery. The author provides "use it today" sample motions that any criminal defense attorney will appreciate. A perfect combination of theoretical and practical, Defense Investigation and Discovery in Criminal Cases is an invaluable resource for criminal defense attorneys. Book jacket.

Download or read book The Modern Detective written by Tyler Maroney and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating examination of the world of private investigators by a 21st-century private eye. Today's world is complicated: companies are becoming more powerful than nations, the lines between public and corporate institutions grow murkier, and the internet is shredding our privacy. To combat these onslaughts, people everywhere -- rich and not so rich, in business and in their personal lives -- are turning away from traditional police, lawyers, and government regulators toward a new champion: the private investigator. As a private investigator, Tyler Maroney has traveled the globe, overseeing sensitive investigations and untying complicated cases for a wide array of clients. In his new book, he shows that it's private eyes who today are being called upon to catch corrupt politicians, track down international embezzlers, and mine reams of data to reveal which CEOs are lying. The tools Maroney and other private investigators use are a mix of the traditional and the cutting edge, from old phone records to computer forensics to solid (and often inspired) street-level investigative work. The most useful assets private investigators have, Maroney has found, are their resourcefulness and their creativity. Each of the investigations Maroney explores in this book highlights an individual case and the people involved in it, and in each account he explains how the transgressors were caught and what lessons can be learned from it. Whether the clients are a Middle Eastern billionaire whose employees stole millions from him, the director of a private equity firm wanting a background check on a potential hire (a known convicted felon), or creditors of a wealthy American investor trying to recoup their money after he fled the country to avoid bankruptcy, all of them hired private investigators to solve problems the authorities either can't or won't touch. In an era when it's both easier and more difficult than ever to disappear after a crime is committed, it's the modern detective people are turning to for help, for revenge, and for justice.
