McNabb in the News (8-23-06)

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb has been quoted in a Las Vegas Review-Journal article about Dario Herrera and Mary Kincaid-Chauncey’s sentencing.

Had U.S. District Judge Larry Hicks wanted to truly scare politicians, he could have dealt even more severely with Herrera and Kincaid-Chauncey, said Douglas McNabb, a … federal criminal defense attorney.

McNabb said the judge is allowed to sentence politicians to terms longer than those called for by federal sentencing guidelines if they betray the public's trust.

"Had he done that, he would have sent a strong message to the public officials in the state that public corruption will not be tolerated," McNabb said.^[1]
