McNabb in the News

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb has been quoted in the Las Vegas Review-Journal regarding a bribery case there.
Douglas McNabb, who specializes in federal cases involving white-collar crimes, said Kenny's testimony could be "incredibly harmful."

Prosecutors will try to convince the jury that even though they might not like Galardi or Kenny, the government needed them because "it takes a rat to catch a rat," McNabb said.

McNabb has not listened to the recorded telephone calls, but through media reports he is familiar with the conversations included in the federal government's indictment.

"From a practical standpoint, he's got a super, uphill climb," McNabb said of Malone.

"I think that in federal criminal cases, in the juror's mind, the defendant did what the United States government said he did, or he wouldn't be sitting there."[1]
