High Court Dives Into The Restraint Of Untainted Assets

Dan Wenner and John Cerreta wrote an article, "High Court Dives Into The Restraint Of Untainted Assets" for Law360. The article analyzes how prior cases could impact the Supreme Court's pending decision of Luis v. United States. What differentiates this case from others is that there is a question whether the Constitution bars pretrial restraint of a criminal defendant's untainted assets (assets not traceable to a criminal offense) that are needed to pay for defense counsel.
