Dan Wenner and Sunita Paknikar wrote an article, "Weimert and Judicial Scrutiny of Prosecutorial
Judgment," for Law360. The article analyzes the oral
argument before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit,
in which Judge David Hamilton expressed skepticism about whether
Weimert's conduct constituted a crime or merely tough
negotiating tactics. The article also analyzed oral arguments
before the U.S. Supreme Court in Bond v. United States and Yates v.
United States in which the Justices challenged the government about
the breadth of the federal criminal statutes at issue in those
cases.
