Attorney Joseph Tamburino has become a prominent speaker for various media outlets, including WCCO TV & Radio, KSTP TV, Minnesota Public Radio, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Recently, he was featured on Fox 9 TV regarding a criminal court trial. He is always looking for opportunities to share his knowledge and legal insight with others, and we are proud to work alongside such a reputable attorney.
U.S. Chief Judge John R. Tunheim is presiding over a fraud court trial. Former executives and business owners of Starkey Laboratories have been charged with embezzlement for stealing millions from the company. However, during the trial, Judge Tunheim ruled that the company’s founder, Bill Austin, perjured himself. This motion comes as a serious blow to the government’s case. By law, no one can be convicted of a crime based on perjured testimony. In most instances, perjury claims arise after the trial is complete. However, in this case, the ruling occurred during the middle of the trial. The jury must now make a decision without considering the perjured testimony.
Fox 9 reached out to Attorney Tamburino for his insight into the matter. He described the seriousness of the perjury charges, and outlined the difficulties the government would face from this unexpected ruling. His reputation as a knowledgeable and successful criminal defense attorney has made him a respected authority on criminal law matters.
