This 2024B edition of The Sixth Circuit Criminal Handbook continues to examine and analyze legal precedence and doctrine for the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, focusing on federal criminal trails and appeals arising from the states of Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. The handbook offers a roadmap to the federal criminal process and applications for the Sixth Circuit, starting from the pretrial procedures, the discovery process, to the trial itself, and finally the post-trial actions and appeals.

This comprehensive and useful handbook is the product of years of careful study and practical application of Sixth Circuit criminal decisions. The handbook is specifically tailored to examine the quirks and provide the essential inside knowledge that a practitioner must be aware of to successfully prosecute or defend a criminal case in the Sixth Circuit (comprising the states of: Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee).

This 2024B release has been revised and updated to include the most recent legal precedence in each section, in addition to over 100 new cases that are important and critical to criminal practice. Using precise, straightforward language, this essential resource analyzes a multitude of topics in the context of Sixth Circuit practice. This most recent 2024B release examines and highlights all new developments to:


• Search and Seizure: Evidentiary burden is reasonable grounds for belief, supported by less than prima facie proof but more than mere suspicion
• Confessions and Other Statements: A defendant's confession is admissible at trial only if he makes it freely, voluntarily, and without compulsion or inducement of any sort – Including statutory changes to the USCS Federal Rules of Evidence
• Pretrial Issues: New Federal Criminal procedures mandate that before a continuance may be granted (or not), the district court must consider certain statutory factors
• Drug Offenses: Amendments and revisions made to the Fair Sentencing Act
• Firearms and Offenses: Courts continue to relay on caselaw that interprets the Federal Armed Career Criminal Act's elements clause
• Money Laundering Conspiracy: new criminal elements that the government must now meet to prove this crime (Fed 18 USCS §§ 201 and 1623)
• Trial: Concepts of ‘challenged disparity’ and ‘comparative disparity’ are reviewed and examined Sentencing: Statutory changes to Fed 18 USCS Appx § 4B1.1: Career Offender sentencing guidelines
• Appeals: Court examines the appellate review process which is limited to plain error
