Procedural defenses (a term of
jurisprudence) are a form of
defense, via which a
defendant may argue that they should not be held
criminally liable for breaking the
law, as the
criminal justice program violated
procedural law as it was creating its
case, and
trial, against said defendant. Procedural defenses include:
collateral estoppel,
denial of a speedy trial,
double jeopardy,
entrapment,
prosecutorial misconduct, and
selective prosecution.
