Dana Nessel, Michigan’s new attorney general, has launched a Conviction Integrity Unit within her office’s Criminal Appellate Division that aims to investigate credible claims of innocence that could result in overturned convictions. A.G. Nessel has assigned criminal defense attorney Robyn B. Frankel to head up the unit, which she says was inspired by Wayne County’s […]

Welcome back and thanks for deciding to join us here for this discussion on the new pilot program for bail in Michigan. Setting bail and setting bond mean the same thing. If you’re just finding this article now, but missed the first one where we explain the interesting new program five Michigan courts are participating […]

Posting bail is an important issue that has to be considered if you ever get arrested. Is bail available to you? Can you afford it? Should you spend the money? Here in Michigan, for many years, the system of deciding bail was very complex, but the Michigan Supreme Court has recently launched a pretrial pilot […]

Welcome back and thanks for joining us again for a look at some of the funnier examples of criminal not-so-masterminds. As we explained in our previous article, a drug trafficker who uses the Smuggler’s Inn bed and breakfast for pick ups, and has a license plate saying ‘SMUGLER’ isn’t the brightest tool in the shed.

Sometimes, Hollywood makes criminals out to be geniuses. Masterminds who can evade the cops with their quick wit and out-of-the-box creativity. But the reality is often not that exciting, and hardly ever that factual. However, one thing that criminal not-so-masterminds can offer is a little humor (sometimes it’s incredulous humor!).

Have you ever discovered that you actually did something illegal, but had no idea at the time that it was against the law? Well, good news – you’re not alone. People do it every day. And with Michigan’s regulation-heavy criminal laws, this becomes more likely all the time. However ignorance of our state law isn’t […]

  Michigan has become the first state in the Midwest to legalize recreational marijuana. But what exactly does that mean for you? How much counts as “recreational,” and how much tips it over the edge into drug dealing? Where can you consume it, and how old do you have to be? There are a lot […]

  We live in Michigan. So if you get arrested here, and if the arrest pertains to a crime committed here in Michigan, you’re subject to Michigan’s laws. That’s what we here at The Kronzek Firm PLC spend every day practicing – defending people accused of committing crimes that violate Michigan’s criminal code. But what […]

  Welcome back to The Kronzek Firm blog. We opened this discussion last time by talking about the ways that cops have been trained to get information from people during an investigation. More directly, we’re talking about getting suspects to confess to a crime. As we mentioned in the previous article, there are at least […]
