McNabb in the News (7/9/06)

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb was quoted in The Sunday Times in an article discussing the NatWest Three.

Tony Blair offered last week to help get the three of them bail when they arrive in Houston, perhaps even to be allowed to return and prepare their case in Britain. But Doug McNabb, a … federal criminal defence lawyer, considers that unlikely: “I believe the court will find them to be a flight risk because they fought being in the US.” In other words, the three men might be shackled to each other on the journey, then jailed in maximum security prisons for as long as two years while awaiting trial.^[1]
