Evidence — Attorney-client privilege
By: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF//December 2, 2014//
Listen to this articleU.S. Court of Appeals For the Seventh Circuit
Criminal
Evidence — Attorney-client privilege
A lawyer’s communication of the defendant’s surrender date is not a privileged communication.
“We agree with the reasoning of our colleagues in these circuits and conclude that admitting the portion of Anderson’s letter and his testimony authenticating it did not invade the attorney-client privilege. Anderson merely forwarded from the court to his client the public information in a court order. The fact that Anderson was Bey’s lawyer did not transform the transmission of this information into confidential legal advice.”
Affirmed.
13-2810 U.S. v. Bey
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Coleman, J., Hamilton, J.
