California Criminal Defense Attorney
Allen Sawyer
The Law Offices of Allen Sawyer

My client is relieved to serve the remainder of his sentence in a safe setting where he can also help his daughter with her homeschooling.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PRWEB)
September 15, 2020

Jim A. Meron had served about a third of his 33-month federal prison sentence for two counts of wire fraud (Case # 2:18-cr-00209-KJM) when Allen Sawyer’s efforts led Chief District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller to grant Meron’s compassionate release from incarceration and admittance to home confinement.

As his criminal defense attorney, Sawyer informed the court that Meron, a cancer survivor who currently suffers from psoriasis, is required to take certain medications that act to suppress his immune system. In conjunction with the increased risk for contracting COVID that prisoners in communal settings face, argued Sawyer, Meron’s continued health issues further put him at risk not only for becoming infected with the coronavirus while incarcerated, but for suffering serious complications and severe illness. As a result, the court modified Meron’s sentence as having fulfilled his time in prison. Meron’s original sentence imposed 36 months of supervised release; this time will be fulfilled as home confinement with his wife in Granite Bay, CA.

“We’re pleased with the court’s decision,” said Sawyer. “My client is relieved to serve the remainder of his sentence in a safe setting where he can also help his daughter with her homeschooling.”

“By automating financial crime research and presenting the critical findings in these reports, QuantaVerse has helped reduce by up to 80 percent the time that investigators spend gathering facts and summarizing their research into SARs,” explained David McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of QuantaVerse.

WAYNE, Pa. (PRWEB)
September 09, 2020

QuantaVerse, which uses AI and machine learning to automate financial crime investigations, has enhanced its Financial Crime Investigation Report (FCIR) so AML cases can be accurately adjudicated more efficiently than ever before. Among other critical information, the QuantaVerse FCIR presents investigators an at-a-glance analysis of transactional relationships, negative news, and money laundering typologies along with risk scores calculated by the QuantaVerse machine learning engine and narratives needed to clear a case or document a suspicious activity report (SAR) submission.

The QuantaVerse FCIR, which meets requirements for properly documenting, explaining, and detailing AML investigations, presents the findings of the QuantaVerse Financial Crime Platform. The QuantaVerse platform has proven to automate approximately 80% of investigation work. By automating the searching, collating, and analyzing of vast amounts of data and then summarizing those findings in the FCIR, QuantaVerse allows investigators to apply their skills, experience, and precious time to adjudicating more cases.

The following enhancements were recently made to the QuantaVerse FCIR:

• Risk scores presented in the FCIR are derived by the QuantaVerse decision engine, a nonrecurrent neural network that interprets observables (such as line of business, adverse media, jurisdiction, entity type, etc.) and makes accurate determinations on risks. QuantaVerse recently applied Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations, or “LIME,” to further validate risk scores presented in the FCIR.
• Narratives explaining what risks were found in the case are now joined by a new narrative section that explains what risks were able to be cleared. Each set of narratives include the rationale for those determinations which can be used when explaining why a case was cleared or to document a SAR. For investigators tasked with reviewing flagged TMS alerts, the FCIR narratives have helped reduce the average time spent investigating a case by as many as 40 minutes.
• Financial crime investigators using the QuantaVerse system suggested reordering sections of the FCIR to best match the way they work through an investigation. Risk narratives have been moved up earlier in the FCIR and the report’s high-level summary was relocated to the top of the first page to bring investigators up to speed quickly.

“By automating financial crime research and presenting the critical findings in these reports, QuantaVerse has helped reduce by up to 80 percent the time that investigators spend gathering facts and summarizing their research into SARs,” explained David McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of QuantaVerse. “Our goal is to help investigators quickly access critical data, including risk scores calculated by the QuantaVerse machine learning engine, so AML teams can more effectively and efficiently investigate financial crimes. This puts the talents of experienced investigators to the highest and best use and moves us closer to eliminating the $2 trillion of dirty money that flows through our financial institutions every year.”

QuantaVerse offers customers two types of FCIRs. Its alert-based FCIRs examine cases that have been triggered by TMS alerts while entity-based FCIRs analyze and document the risk associated with each customer (and their counterparties) on a regular basis as prescribed by each financial institution.

Eisner Gorin LLP

State-Bar Certified Criminal Law Specialist

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 06, 2020

Congress has been debating federal police reform legislation following high-profile cases of police misconduct, and subsequent civil unrest nationwide.

Former Deputy District Attorney Dmitry Gorin will moderate a presentation on the need for reform in law enforcement.

Mr. Gorin has both prosecuted and defended numerous cases involving police officers, where their use of force was questioned, there were claims of dishonesty, and they were subject to department discipline.

Attorney Gorin previously moderated a panel on these important issues. See video presentation here.

The speakers at the Beverly Hills Bar’s upcoming presentation represent diverse backgrounds and will discuss how the court process deals with allegations of police officer misconduct, the civil and criminal systems of justice facing law enforcement, and whether there is a need for law enforcement reform: See Zoom webinar registration here.

A presentation is scheduled for September 9, 2020 to further address important topics related to improving law enforcement nationally:

• 
      What do police departments need to do to reform the system?
•     What is the function of police and why does misconduct take place?
•     How does the District Attorney make decisions on filing charges against police?
•     How are police trained to use force making an arrest and what are the psychological stressors?
•     What is reasonably necessary force and how are officers trained to use force?
•     How do police departments implement additional training to make an impact on perceived issues?

Training, police culture, and hiring practices by police departments are all factors that should be examined closely in the reform debate.

An officer may face split second decisions on the street in protecting himself and the public. With hindsight always being 20/20, experts are expected to discuss how should officers be judged after use of force incidents when someone is injured.

In high-profile cases, police officers often find themselves involved with internal affairs criminal investigations, federal crime investigation, and civil lawsuits.

When an officer’s conduct leads to injury or death, civic leaders demand a criminal prosecution.

However, with the high standard of proof “beyond a reasonable doubt,” often prosecutors choose not to charge citing “insufficient proof.”

An officer and his department can also be sued in civil court which has a lower burden of proof and can financially compensate the injured person or his family. This complex issue has led to the political challenges of elected officials who choose to not prosecute.

Dmitry Gorin is a State-Bar Certified Criminal Law Specialist. He is a partner in Eisner Gorin LLP, a criminal defense law firm.

The law firm represents law enforcement officers who are under a criminal investigation, as well as individuals and businesses who are alleged to have committed state and federal crimes.

Rosenfeld & Sawyer defend Dana Stubblefield

“The stops and starts involved with the COVID delay made it difficult for jurors to remember what evidence was presented months ago,” said Sawyer. “This isn’t a loss,” said Rosenfeld. “It’s just not a win yet. We were sent into a fight and we still won what was critical.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PRWEB)
July 31, 2020

Defense attorneys Ken Rosenfeld and Allen Sawyer won crucial counts for former San Francisco 49ers player Dana Stubblefield on Monday, despite his conviction on rape charges in Santa Clara County Superior Court (Case #F1660022). Taken together with trial court complications and COVID-19 delays, the defense attorneys won critical victories.

California criminal defense attorneys Rosenfeld and Sawyer were able to secure for Stubblefield two significant acquittals Monday: rape of a person incapable of giving consent, and oral copulation of a person incapable of giving consent.

“This win signifies a substantial portion of the trial,” said Rosenfeld.

Stubblefield, 49, was found by a jury to be guilty on charges of rape by force using a firearm, oral copulation by force, and false imprisonment; Rosenfeld and Sawyer are hired to defend Stubblefield and this legal matter.

Like most legal matters and other business transpiring this year, the trial was impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, which created an extensive mid-trial delay. Much time elapsed after evidence was presented to the jury, which had many impacts on the outcome.

Rosenfeld and Sawyer are representing Stubblefield, who played defensive tackle for the 49ers for seven years.

“This isn’t a loss,” said Rosenfeld. “It’s just not a win yet. We were sent into a fight and we still won what was critical.”
