Jan. 28, 2010: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Grassroots Civic Action Is Best Hope To Correct Federal Prosecution

Abuses, Says Author Harvey Silverglate In DC Radio Interview Jan. 28

Washington, DC (Jan. 28, 2009) – Informed and pro-active citizens are the nation’s best hope to correct
increasing abuses of power by federal prosecutors, according to a radio interview today by Harvey
Silverglate, author of the pioneering new book Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the
Innocent. Silverglate spoke live on the DC Update edition of My Technology Lawyer Radio, which can
be heard nationwide via its archives at www.MyTechnologyLawyer.com/update.

Silverglate, a Boston-based litigator for 42 years, showed how the federal executive branch abuses power
via selective prosecution under hard-to-understand statutes. The book is winning praise from experts
across the political spectrum. Show co-host Andrew Kreig told listeners that it deserves the attention of
anyone in the country worried that loss of constitutional rights affects politics and business.

Silverglate explained the book’s title thus: The average professional is unaware that he or she has likely
committed several federal crimes each day. Why unaware? Modern federal criminal laws have exploded
in number, and become impossibly broad and vague.

In gripping detail, his book shows unfair prosecutions in different fields affecting ordinary people, as well
as Martha Stewart-level celebrities. In congressional testimony last fall on the problem, Silverglate said:

I was readily able, from my own litigation experience as well as from research done on other
cases, to pinpoint myriad inappropriate prosecutions of many an unwary innocent citizen in the
medical community, the medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, investment
houses, bankers, lawyers, accountants and auditors, academics, artists, newspaper reporters,
merchants, as well as public officials.

Won’t judges and defense attorneys protect defendants from unfair treatment? Silverglate responded to
the question on today’s show from co-host Scott Draughon by saying that too many judges and
prosecutors began their careers in a “culture” that assumes that those who are accused must be guilty. So,
Silverglate said, 95% of defendants then plead guilty, in part because so many defense attorneys are
former prosecutors accustomed to “processing” clients through the system rather than fighting for them.

His advice for defendants seeking the right attorney? He suggests seeking help from attorneys active in
civic groups compatible with the defendant’s perspectives, not simply experienced courthouse players.
