Judge Chastises McKesson Exec’s Defense Team but Reins In Prosecution
Former McKesson HBOC Chairman Charles McCall, the last defendant to be sentenced in a lengthy case involving cooked books at the company, got 10 years for securities fraud Friday, considerably less than prosecutors sought. Federal Judge William Alsup complimented lawyers on both sides for superb work but rapped McCall's defense team for trying to keep McCall out of prison pending appeal and dinged the defense for failing to preserve objections during trial.
