Prosecutor cites threat in Lee plea deal under CIPA
A federal prosecutor testified that a defense threat to turn the Wen Ho Lee trial into a long death march pressured the government to seek a plea. Norman Bay said a private May meeting with an unidentified defense lawyer influenced the decision under CIPA. FBI Director Louis Freeh cited fear of exposing nuclear secrets as key to settlement, and Lee pleaded guilty to one count on September 13. The Senate Judiciary subcommittee continues a broad review of the case.
