About this video
"Is this a federal case?" is often the first question, and the answer changes everything. Brian Foley and Luis Baez — who prosecuted in state court and now defend in both — walk through the differences: agency investigations versus patrol arrests, grand jury indictment versus intake, the presumption of detention versus a bond schedule, the Sentencing Guidelines versus Texas punishment ranges, and the near absence of parole in the federal system.
