All charges dropped!

Friday, April 20th, 2012

At the Law Office of Russell Babcock, we don’t wait until charges are filed against you. Many times we are able to negotiate a result that avoids the filing of criminal charges . Below are only some of the cases that were dropped after suspects in a criminal investigation had Russell Babcock and Associate Attorney, Ryan Mardock, go to bat for them:

New York Transit Driver

Defendant arrested in San Diego with over $20,000 in his possession and facing a mandatory ten year minimum for drug conspiracy. After the attorneys met with the United States Attorney, all charges were dropped and client allowed to return to family after only spending a weekend in jail. No criminal record or charges pending !

Two Domestic Violence Cases

Attorneys Negotiated for Two Domestic Violence cases to be dropped including one that could have ended the career of a commercial airline pilot.

Grand Jury Appearance Quashed

Young woman, who was the target of a mortgage fraud investigation, retained the law firm and instead of appearing before a grand jury, an informal meeting was arranged and no grand jury appearance was required. No charges filed.

Sex Abuse of Minor Charges Not Filed

Attorneys met with police investigators several times and successfully avoided the filing of charges of sexual abuse of a minor against a worker in a public school. No sex registration required. No charges filed.

Hundreds of Counts of Mortgage Fraud

In one of the largest mortgage fraud cases in this city, and perhaps, the country attorneys Babcock and Mardock met with the F.B.I, the U.S. Postal Service and the U.S Attorneys Office and avoided having any charges filed against client. Client is free and at home.

Doctor Not Indicted

Prominent doctor was investigated for several serious felony fraud charges including the misuse of prescription drug receipt. Attorneys Babcock and Mardock intervened. No charges filed against doctor or his wife.

Employee Embezzlement.

Employee was accused of embezzling a large sum of money from employer. The suspect had been contacted by police and asked to give a statement. Attorney Ryan Mardock contacted “victim” as well as the investigator, and was able to work out a civil compromise that did not result in the filing of charges.

Don’t wait and contact an attorney after you have been or arrested or charged. Contact an attorney at the earliest stage so that you can receive immediate protection and advise. Dealing with police officers, victims, and prosecutors before charges have been filed is a very delicate matter. Only place your future and liberty in the hands of the best professionals. At the Law Offices of Russell S. Babcock, we are experts in protecting suspects and helping to avoid the filing of charges whenever possible.

San Diego Acknowledges Existence of Blind Mules

Breaking News—-United States Attorney’s Office in San Diego Acknowledges the Existence of Blind Mules

On March 7, 2012 the United States Attorney’s Office sent letters to all defense counsel who are working on drug courier cases. In this letter the United States Attorney’s Office disclosed that on or about November 2011, a Special Agent came into possession that “two drug transportation brokers made statements that an advertisement was placed in a Mexican newspaper, likely ‘El Mexicano’,” soliciting persons for employment to drive vehicles into the united states and that “at some pint, certain of the persons would be tricked into unknowingly crossing drugs or some type of contraband, into the United States.
 

Another special agent received information that a drug smuggler placed similar ads in “La Frontera”, paying individuals $200 per driving job and that the drivers do not know they are bringing drugs into the United States.
 

In still a third case, in mid-February of this year, a special agent indicated that an individual in Baja California was placing similar ads, for an unknown extended period of time, and that the drivers would be paid $100 and would not know that they were transporting drugs into the United States.
 

In many recent trials, the government has been allowed to bring testimony through “expert witnesses” that blind mules do not exist. What this means is that dozens of innocent individuals may be sitting in jail because the jury heard untrue testimony from agents that blind mules do not exist.
 

The United States Attorney’s Office, Southern District in San Diego should be commended for bringing this material to the attention of the public, especially defense attorneys. But, they are required by law to do so under a United States Supreme Court case, Brady v. Maryland, which requires them to give defense attorneys all “exculpatory” or helpful evidence to the defense. The United States Attorney’s office , and also the courts must go further now and carefully review all of the convictions of blind mules, and in all those cases where the jury was informed that blind mules do not exist, new trials should be ordered or the cases reviewed for dismissal where the evidence does not support conviction.
 

At the San Diego Criminal law firm of Russell Babcock, we are experts in blind mule cases, federal border crimes and all narcotic crimes including methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin and marijuana. If you or someone you care for has been arrested for transporting drugs accross the border our law firm is highly qualified and successful in provding defense for blind mules and others arrested for transporting contraband.
