Former federal prosecutor and chair of McCarter’s White Collar Defense and Government Investigations group, Robert Mintz, spoke with The Record about the government’s use of cooperating witnesses in a high-profile murder-for-hire case, saying “Typically prosecutors like to swim upstream when it comes to cooperators.
