Judge rejects charges for 13 on tax shelter
The New York Times

July 17,
2007 -- A federal judge dismissed charges yesterday against 13 former employees of the accounting firm KPMG, delivering a blow to prosecutors who once heralded the case as a showpiece in the government's crusade against questionable tax shelters.
Judge Lewis Kaplan of Federal District Court in Manhattan ruled that he had no choice but to dismiss the charges because the government had strong-armed KPMG into not paying the legal fees of defendants and had violated their rights.
WUSTL criminal justice professor Kathleen Brickey comments on the case.

It also evaluates key criminal provisions in theSarbanes-Oxley Act that extend important new legal protections to corporate whistleblowers and provide incentives for for potential targets of criminal investigation to become cooperating witnesses.

Comments of the participants were incorporated in a report to a group of Ukranian State Prosecutors who asked the ABA Initiative for asistance in reviewing, analyzing and commenting on the new environmental crimes code.
