Law360 covered the latest update in an insider trading case against former Baltimore Orioles third baseman Doug DeCinces, who is represented by Manatt litigation partner Kenneth Julian, reporting that DeCinces claims federal prosecutors are withholding evidence that would clear him of insider trading allegations.
