Criminal Defense Litigation iii Over the past twenty-five years, Richard Seligman has successfully represented criminal defendants in the United States District Court for D.C. and the U.S. District Court in Maryland. His work includes all phases of trial, appeal, and post-conviction proceedings. He has also handled complex cases in the D.C. Superior Court, the D.C. Court of Appeals, and the Maryland state courts. Over the past ten years, his cases have become increasingly complex, including drug and murder conspiracy cases in Federal Court and white collar crime cases involving theft or schemes to commit fraud. A small sample of his legal victories include the acquittal of a 14 year police veteran accused of second degree rape and child abuse ( State of Maryland v Eddie Ward Jr.) (P.G. Cir. 7/18/02) and the reversal of a murder conspiracy conviction on the basis of insufficient evidence (United States v Ralph Wilson et al, 160 F.3d 732 ( D.C. Cir. 1998). Another victory reversed a trial judge's refusal to vacate an armed robbery conviction due to ineffective assistance of counsel (United States v James Woodard, 719 A.2d 966 (D.C. 1998). All decisions resulted in the release of the clients. He has also successfully represented individuals accused of possession of child pornography. In one case the federal charges were dismissed and the federal employee was reinstated and awarded both backpay and attorney's fees. iii
