How Can a Bribery Defense Attorney Help Me with a Charge Involving a Public Official: F.S. 838.015?
The Florida Legislature has defined Bribery Involving A Public Official as “…knowingly and intentionally give, offer, or promise to any public servant, or, if a public servant, to knowingly and intentionally request, solicit, accept, or agree to accept for himself or herself or another, any pecuniary or other benefits not authorized by law with an intent or purpose to influence the performance of any act or omission which the person believes to be, or the public servant represents as being, within the official discretion of a public servant, in violation of a public duty, or in performance of a public duty.”What is the Punishment for Bribery Involving a Public Official?
As a second-degree felony, this crime is punishable by penalties ranging from probation to fifteen years in state prison.
What defense would an experienced Bribery Attorney use in a case involving a Public Official?
To succeed in its prosecution, the State must prove that the defendant entered into an agreement and paid the public official some monetary or other compensation to influence an official decision or future action.
The State cannot prevail if it tries to prosecute a person based on little or nothing more than a person’s successful solicitation of a mere promise from a public official.
In addition, the defendant may defeat the prosecution if he can show, through his lawyer, that the State obtained its evidence in violation of the Constitution.
In fact, such errors by agents of the State happen quite often.
