Cupid Creates Target Letter |
Law enforcement officers either have sufficient evidence to make an arrest or they don't. So why provide them with more evidence? Even a denial may help an investigation if the denial comes with an explanation that is implausible or factual incoherent.
Sometimes officers may threaten to make an arrest if there is no cooperation, which is the best signal they could give that they haven't arrested you only because they want more evidence. The objective of a target must be to keep in mind that the process of an investigation is controlled by law enforcement.
One client recently told me that she confessed to a Grand Theft charge in Tampa Bay only to 'get out of the room' after a long, intense interrogation in front of the people who employed her. One of the Detectives seeing her breaking point approaching kept saying louder and louder, "You want it to end? Then confess." And in an instant against her better judgement she confessed to the crime making it much more difficult to help her get the case dismissed or reduced.
Federal investigators in Tampa Bay, Florida may generously notify a person that a possible arrest is imminent or grand jury testimony sought by sending what is known as The Target Letter. A Target Letter cajoles the recipient to find a lawyer and begin negotiations to diffuse the possibility of a pending Federal Grand Jury indictment.
Because there is little to be gained by speaking to investigators, if you do decide to speak with them make sure you have a Tampa Bay criminal lawyer with you to defend your interests and help you avoid arrest.
