MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from United States v. Favaloro, 493 F.2d 623 (2nd Cir. 1974):
In United States v. Pollak, 474 F.2d 828 (2d Cir. 1973), we suggested that, "perhaps, an extraordinary situation in the office of the prosecutor" could constitute an exceptional circumstance. 474 F.2d at 830. Without categorically rejecting that suggestion we find that the facts here do not amount to "exceptional circumstances."
