Justice is not done when the government uses the threat of indictment – a matter of life and death to many companies and therefore a matter that threatens the jobs and security of blameless employees – to coerce companies into depriving their present and even former employees of the means of defending themselves against criminal charges in a court of law. If those whom the government suspects are culpable in fact are guilty, they should pay the price. But the determination of guilt or innocence must be made fairly – not in a proceeding in which the government has obtained an unfair advantage long before the trial even has begun.
