Combine a vaguely-written federal law and an over-eager federal prosecutor, and WHAM! You’re in front of a grand jury before you can say ‘huh?’.
Attorney/legal scholar Harvey Silverglate’s new book Three Felonies a Day shows how, for three decades, federal prosecutors and judges have abused their authority to extort and threaten typical Americans.
Harvey will be reading from his book tonight at the Harvard Coop at 7 PM, and Jodi Solomon Speakers will be there in force!
