  • The U.S. Attorneys office in Charleston and the Kanawha County Prosecutors office have cooperated many times over the years. Now the two offices are designating a particular person to make that happen. Maryclaire Akers, who has been chief of staff for the county prosecutors office, will be special assistant U.S. attorney to the Southern District of West Virginia. Akers is no stranger to her new job. She has been splitting her time between the two offices for the past few weeks. But U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin and Kanawha Prosecutor Mark Plants made the move official Friday. Akers retains her prosecuting responsibilities in Plants office, including that of felony cases and prosecuting Shawn Lester, the Charleston man accused in the 2003 sniper style shootings of three Kanawha County resi...

  • This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now. The questions before the Supreme Court are of particular interest to public company executives and their professional advisors. Traditionally, Delaware law has governed the content and enforcement of executives' legal duties, largely protecting public company fiduciaries from civil liability. Now, with the emergence of honest services fraud as a weapon ...

  • View an AP video about meth g ONLINE at wvgazette.com ST. LOUIS - Electronic systems that track sales of the cold medicine used to make methamphetamine have failed to curb the drug trade and instead created a vast, highly lucrative market for profiteers to buy over-the-counter pills and sell them to meth producers at a huge markup. An Associated Press review of federal data shows that the lure of such easy money has drawn thousands of new people into the methamphetamine underworld over the last few years. Its almost like a sub-criminal culture, said Gary Boggs, an agent at the Drug Enforcement Administration.
