Cohen Jail Sentence "Fair and Reasonable" according to David S. Weinstein
December 13, 2018
Hinshaw partner and former federal prosecutor David S. Weinstein is quoted in Darren Samuelsohn's Politico report on the 3-year jail sentence handed down today to longtime Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen. Cohen had previously pled guilty to a series of tax fraud and lying charges.
Weinstein called the sentence "fair and reasonable" that "sends a message" to others who consider committing similar crimes.
For those of you who have been following or listening to me about #Cohen this is the sentence that I felt he would receive and that was appropriate given all of the factors involved. https://t.co/tvU1yQ9p8u
