Douglass Jennings, disbarred tax lawyer, gets 34 months
Don, I know a victim ($1.5 million) who was in the courtroom last Thursday. The Federal prosecutors told the victims that there would be no need to hire a lawyer that the Federal officers would return funds directly to the victims (that they know of) and, of course, full restitution just never happens. Jennings apparently sold the tax practice to one of his buddies for $200K along with a side deal to reacquire it when he comes out of the slammer. Jennings and his wife may have/probably ceded or gifted various real properties to others to get them out of their "estate" with a plan to recover them when they are clear of the pokey. Jennings and his wife were confronted with possible 10 year or longer sentences and their attorney asked for home confinement, of course. That didn't happen. The prosecutors communicated to the victims that more Federal charges could be forthcoming. I'm sure that any real person believes the Jennings' have stashed assets somewhere, hoping to recapture them later. You wrote a good succinct review.— April 12, 2018 4:12 p.m.
Coalition Seeks “Better Bayfront Plan” in Chula Vista
Dr. and Mrs. Watry aren't really serious; they are just opposed to be opposed. If they ever supported anything positive in this city folks would think they had gone crazy. And that is the way they are seen and understood by anyone who is not a dues paying member of Crossroads.— April 15, 2012 3:14 p.m.

La Madrid Associate Gets 51 Months
Don, These sentences seem short for the crime(s) committed. Is it because they have $$ for actual restitution (in part) to the victims? Or are these simply Federal sentencing guidelines?— September 17, 2011 12:48 p.m.
