Howard Stewart Brings the Law to the Gulf

The Houston Chronicle this week profiles Howard Stewart ’81, a Dickinson Law School grad who works as a senior prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice. Stewart is heading the criminal investigation into the Gulf oil spill, and based on impressions from colleagues and courtroom rivals, BP and the other companies implicated in the spill are in for a tough time if criminal charges go to trial. Said one defense attorney who has represented companies in environmental cases, “He’s the kind of guy you dream of facing if you’re not guilty. If you are guilty, he’s your worst nightmare.”

Let’s hope ol’ Howard finds something useful to do with his time and our money. The last thing we beleagured taxpayers and consumers need is another politically motivated witch hunt.
