McNabb in the News (7/6/06)

Senior Principal Douglas McNabb has been quoted in a Telegraph article about the NatWest Three.

The FBI Marshal Service will fly them to Houston, where they will be fitted out in orange jumpsuits, handcuffs, chains around their waist and manacles around their legs.

On the next business day, they will appear before a federal judge for a bail hearing before they are sent to the Houston Federal Detention Centre. They are certain not to get bail because, after their extensive protests in Britain, any judge would consider them a definite flight risk.

…

Only then will they be sent on to the Houston centre for an indefinite period on remand.

"Remand prisoners in the Houston Federal Detention Centre tend to be tried within two or three months," said Douglas McNabb, a leading … lawyer who has studied the case closely.

"But the NatWest Three will probably be on remand for a year or more because the case is so complicated and involves so many documents and witnesses in the UK."^[1]
