Jason Bo-Alan Beckman v. United States
HabeasCorpus Securities
Can the Government circumvent Luis v United States , 578 U.S. ___,
136 S. Ct. 1083 (2016) protections by using a civil proceeding to
freeze untainted assets —namely an errors and omissions policy —
a few months prior to initiating a criminal proceeding for the
same acts as the civil case, preventing defendant exercising his
right to choose criminal counsel.
Can an errors and omissions policy secured prior to the
commencement of the charged acts, with untainted funds, be subject
to an asset freeze order or criminal forfeiture when the primary
purpose of the policy is to cover the representational expenses
incurred and is payable directly to the attorney or firm?
Did the Eighth Circuit fail to adhere to Slack v McDaniel 's, 529
U.S. 473 (2000), minimal requirements in denying —without
discussion — Beckman's Luis C.O.A. claim when every other circuit
would, and has, disagreed with the district court's opinion?
