McNabb in the News (3-6-06)

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb has been quoted in an article in The Tennessean about the potential extradition of Martha Patlan and Genero Espinosa Dorantes, who we discussed last Tuesday.

Convincing the Mexican government to extradite Patlan and Dorantes will require a promise that they won't be subject to the death penalty, said Douglas McNabb, a Washington-based lawyer whose firm specializes in international extradition defense.

"Because Tennessee can seek the death penalty and Mexico can't seek one, Mexico is going to want to get written assurances that the U.S. will not seek the death penalty," he said. "That's going to be a big issue."^[1]
