Lawyer Gets 5 Years for Aiding Client’s Escape Attempt
An attorney charged with smuggling a 14-inch saw blade to a jailed client was sentenced to five years in prison Thursday, although nearly one year will be subtracted because the lawyer has been jailed since his arrest last February. Georgia attorney William P. Keenan was representing Dareon Varner against charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony when the lawyer slipped Varner the blade.
