McNabb in the News (08-09-06)

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb has been quoted in Arkansas’s The Morning News regarding the former vice chairman of Wal-Mart, Tom Coughlin.

Judge Dawson ordered the plea agreement to be sealed and any comment would have to come from his office, Cromwell said.

Douglas McNabb is a well-known … attorney specializing in high-profile, white-collar federal crime cases. Both he and [Wayne State University professor Peter] Henning said it was unusual for a plea agreement to be sealed.

“That means there’s something in there they don’t want you to see — typically, because it contains information that would perhaps impede government investigation of others,” McNabb said.^[1]
