Partner and Counsel to the CEO, Howard Master, spoke with Ben Penn of Bloomberg Law about the rising popularity of attacks on the integrity of the justice system, and the possible effect of those attacks on future public corruption prosecutions.
“It [an attack] does create challenges for prosecutors who are having to impanel a jury and convince regular citizens of the guilt of an elected official,” said Master, who used to prosecute public corruption in Manhattan. “Those attacks on the integrity of the system may have more success than they might have in the past.”
