McNabb in the News (2-9-06)

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb has been mentioned in a New York Times article about the conviction of three people in the human smuggling trial that just concluded in Houston.

Because the jury found that none of the immigrants "died as a result of the conduct" of the three defendants, the maximum penalty was 20 years instead of life in prison.

…

But based on the federal criminal statute and the federal sentencing guidelines, Douglas McNabb, senior principal of McNabb Associates, a leading criminal defense firm in Houston, estimated probable sentences of 8 to 10 years.^[1]
