Only his talk terrifying
 

Boston Herald

Daniel I. Small- Boston

Litigation Partner Daniel Small wrote an October 23 Opinion article for the Boston Herald titled, "Only his talk terrifying."

In the article, Mr. Small, a former federal prosecutor who focuses his practice on witness preparation, analyzes current judicial realities illuminated by Tarek Mehanna's arrest. Mr. Mehanna, a 27-year-old pharmacist, is currently facing charges related to years of alleged terrorist plotting, despite a lack of any real action. Mr. Small writes, "We are traveling in troubling and uncharted waters. We fight terrorism to uphold our system, but a fundamental part of that system is freedom of speech. The war on terror, like any war, continues to force hard decisions." To read the full article, please click on the link below.
