> The condition that a defendant “avoid all contact ... with a potential witness who may testify concerning the offense” is a standard condition. 18 U.S.C. § 3142(c)(B)(v). Indeed, the no-contact condition is routinely imposed in cases in this district. “The no-contact condition set forth in the statute seeks to prevent a defendant from intimidating someone who, by nature of being a victim or a potential witness, is already in a difficult and delicate position.”
Or just reas the brief in full, it is short and a pretty pleasant read.
- jcampbell1 4y agoWe will see what the judge decides, but one thing is clear, this case isn’t going to trial for years.
- hgsgm 4y ago> potential witness who may testify concerning the offense” That's pretty much everyone he knows from the last 10 years of his life. If that's really what they want, just say it, don't play semantic games like this.

- freejazz 4y agoIt's not a semantic game and you couldn't come up with a more direct description. The poster you are referring to is incredibly confused if they think "everyone he has known for the past 10 years" is a more clear description than "potential witnesses"
