Barkow discusses Bear Stearns indictments, questions prosecutors' decision to name unindicted co-conspirators in terrorism case
In a June 19 interview on Bloomberg TV's Evening Edition, Anthony Barkow, executive director of the Law School's new Center on the Administration of Criminal Law, which focuses on prosecutorial practices, discusses the indictments against two former Bear Stearns hedge fund managers accused of deceiving investors by not disclosing how badly their funds were performing. "This is really a case about lying," says Barkow.
Also, Barkow tells the Wall Street Journal that federal prosecutors acted questionably in naming unindicted co-conspirators in a terrorism conspiracy case. A former federal prosecutor, Barkow says, "We're supposed to bend over backwards not to do this."
