The Criminal Practice Committee of the Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter, recently presented a roundtable brown-bag lunch event on the topic of “Death Penalty Litigation in Michigan” at the T. Levin Courthouse in Detroit. Taking part in the discussion were (left to right) Committee Co-chair Matthew F. Leitman with Miller, Canfield, Paddock, & Stone PLC; Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Lemisch, chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Michigan; attorney Richard Kammen, counsel for several capital defendants; U.S District Court Judge Arthur Tarnow, Eastern District of Michigan; and Harold Gurewitz of Gurewitz & Raben PLC. Michigan abolished the death penalty more than 150 years ago but there are still death penalty cases in the state for a limited number of federal crimes. “We’re trying to give the audience a sense of what the rare death penalty case is like here because we don’t have much death penalty litigation in Michigan,” noted Leitman.
