Considerations When Defending Charges of Cybercrime
Sentencing for any type of cybercrime tends to be severe, because courts often wish to make examples of individuals who commit crimes over the Internet. And since the Internet knows no state boundaries, most cybercrime charges end up being filed and prosecuted in federal courts. The FBI runs countless sting operations every year in order to round up as many cybercriminals as possible.
In order to defend yourself against a cybercrime charge, you must retain an attorney who understands both computer technology and the laws surrounding it. For example, if your case involves the retention of illegal photographs on your computer, you need an attorney who understands that your browser cache settings may be the real culprit.
You also need to make sure your attorney can explain the technical elements of your case clearly and effectively, since many jurors may not understand the technical ins and outs of cybercrimes.
At Collins Gann McCloskey & Barry PLLC, our attorneys understand cybercrime from both technical and legal perspectives. If you face charges of cybercrime, contact us today to schedule a free consultation regarding your case.
