Episode notes
Illegal Interim Appointments Can Collapse Cases
- Improper interim U.S. attorney appointments can void prosecutions by removing authority to convene grand juries.
- Dismissals for lack of appointment raise complex statute-of-limitations questions under 18 U.S.C. §3288.
'Without Prejudice' Dismissals Still Create Legal Knots
- A dismissed indictment 'without prejudice' allows potential refiling but leaves open statute-of-limitations disputes.
- George argues some defective indictments might be 'stricken' rather than treated as dismissed for §3288 tolling.
Preserve Grand-Jury And Motive Challenges
- If prosecutors reindict, defendants can still raise selective or vindictive prosecution claims.
- Lawyers should preserve and raise grand-jury and motive arguments in any refiled indictment.
