Experts say officials could flip Dianne Wilkerson - Probe’s scope may widen

...Kevin McGrath, a white-collar crime defense attorney and former chief of the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, said, “The office would feel obligated to pursue all potential targets.” But he predicts no leniency for Wilkerson - who faces 40 years behind bars if convicted - “unless she was able to provide useful information about people either equally or more prominent than her.”


Asked how he would advise Wilkerson to proceed, high-profile defense attorney Kevin Reddington noted he has a tattoo on his right shoulder that says, “Never represent an informant.”

“It’s going to be a nightmare,” Reddington said. “There must be some sweaty eyebrows out there right now.” Prosecutor John T. McNeil “is a pitbull,” he said. “He’ll be relentless.”
