Corporate Deferred Prosecution Agreements Under The Obama Administration

ADVERTISEMENTS

There's an interesting article on Slate today by Jeff Horwitz, entitled "Almost Criminal: Will the Obama Administration Shy Away from Indicting Lawbreaking Companies?"  Horwitz posits that:

Now that the Bush Justice Department's top brass has decamped for the private sector, it might seem reasonable to expect that the new Obama DoJ will start charging big companies for the crimes they commit. But that's not likely. Given the power that deferred prosecutions give prosecutors, and the fear that corporate trials do more harm than good, Obama's appointees aren't likely to change course. That might be pragmatic, but it's not the end to corporate exceptionalism that Obama proposed on the campaign trail.
