What Are the Differences Between Federal Crime & State Crime?
The biggest difference between federal and state criminal procedures is the investigation. In a federal investigation, enforcement officers may wait months or even years before arresting the suspect, choosing to use that time to investigate. Federal agents may come to your door and ask for a seemingly unofficial and benign interview when in reality they want to use the information you give them unsuspectingly as a key part of their investigation. It is very important that you do not speak with any federal investigators without a Lubbock federal criminal defense attorney present to protect you from saying something incriminating accidentally.
-
How do Federal Trials Work?
Federal trials follow a strict legal process starting with an investigation, followed by arrest, indictment by a grand jury, arraignment, pre-trial motions, and eventually, trial. Unlike state trials, federal trials often involve extensive discovery and legal motions due to the complexity of federal laws. If convicted, sentencing is determined by federal sentencing guidelines, and the convicted person can appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals and, in rare cases, to the Supreme Court.
-
What are the Penalties for Federal Crimes?
Penalties for federal crimes vary but often include significant prison time, heavy fines, probation, asset forfeiture, and other severe consequences. Federal sentencing guidelines often impose mandatory minimum sentences, especially for drug offenses and violent crimes. Unlike state sentences, federal sentences typically do not allow parole, meaning convicted individuals must serve a substantial portion of their sentence before becoming eligible for early release.
