Misprision of Felony is a serious Federal Offense

All Federal crimes are serious. Federal law enforcement authorities have vast resources at their disposal to investigate and prosecute. Federal sentencing is often harsh. There is no parole in the Federal system. Those sentenced to Federal prison sentences must serve most of their sentence before being released. Federal probation is very difficult to obtain. People under investigation or charged with any Federal offense must fight to protect their liberty.

Misprision of a Felony Defense Lawyer Robert Fickman will fight for you

Misprision of a Felony is a crime under Federal Law. 18 U.S.C. 4 sets out the offense.

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Successfully Defending Misprision Charges

Misprision charges are fairly rare. When a person is charged with something more serious, like Conspiracy, sometimes we work toward convincing the Government to reduce the charge to a Misprision charge. Sometimes these charges are filed against people who were not aware of a crime but were simply present. Mere presence at the scene of a crime is not sufficient to convict.
