FEDERAL DISTRICT OF UTAH: Gang and RICO Crimes
Many crimes can be charged in either state or federal court. But, when alleged gang activity is involved, defendants find themselves facing federal charges. The federal government has extensive resources to spend on prosecuting your crime, so it is essential to work with an experienced and knowledgeable attorney in cases such as:
FELONIES AND MISDEMEANORS COMMITTED ON FEDERAL LAND
Utah is a beautiful state with many amazing mountains and natural wonders. It is also a state where the Federal Government owns 64% of the land. That being the case, a relatively minor crime like being in possession of less than an ounce of marijuana may be charged as a federal crime. The distinction between federal land and state or private land is not always obvious. Clearly, National Park, Monuments, and national forest are federally owned and operated; vast swaths of trackless desert on the western and southeastern sides of the state are also owned by the Federal Government. As a result, instead of having your case handled by a city court in Cedar City, Utah, you may find yourself before a Federal Magistrate in Salt Lake City or St. George, Utah.
You need an attorney experienced in dealing with the Federal Court system and representing those charged with violating the law while on Federal land.
