A high-profile Los Angeles criminal defense attorney has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Eastern District U.S. Attorney's office where he admitted to the obstruction of justice by leaking confidential notes from a meeting of a client seeking to work out a cooperation agreement.
Eastern District prosecutors were probing a multimillion dollar drug trafficking enterprise, which at times hired Roger J. Rosen, whose clients also have included rock music impresario Phil Spector. Rosen passed a longtime client's confidential proffer notes to others involved in the enterprise.
