3rd Circuit Says Lawyer’s Plea Deal Properly Denied for Lack of Contrition

NJ Law Journal (Law.com): “What got Saint Preux in trouble were statements he made to the Probation Office that wound up in his pre-sentencing report. He tried to shift the blame to co-defendant Naranjan Patel for signing more than 400 fraudulent immigration applications. Saint Preux also remarked that ‘the government doesn’t have the resources to go after the applicants. So they go after the attorneys.’”

U.S. v. Saint Preux, No. 07-4501.
