This procedural defense argues that the prosecution did not follow the required legal procedures with the defendant. The defense lawyer must consider the following:

  • What procedures was the prosecution required to follow?
  • Did the prosecution fail to follow any of these requirements?
  • If so, what are the legal consequences of failing to follow that procedure?
