"Experts Say Officials Could Flip Dianne Wilkerson"

Kevin McGrath was quoted in the October 30, 2008 issue of the Boston Herald in the article, "Experts say officials could flip Dianne Wilkerson." The article discussed the public corruption investigation involving Massachusetts state Senator Dianne Wilkerson. Other political officials were touched by the 18-month probe into her alleged abuse of power, including: Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino, state Senate President Therese Murray, and City Council President Maureen Feeney. The article speculates that U.S. Attorney Michael Sullivan may try and flip her to name alleged co-conspirators with a plea deal as bait. According to Kevin, "The office would feel obligated to pursue all potential targets.” But Kevin 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.”
