| Case Digest |
Respondent engaged in a variety of misconduct; Respondent: (1) was convicted of carrying a vial of crack cocaine into a prison; (2) was convicted of flight to avoid prosecution when he cut his home monitoring bracelet and fled to Washington, D.C.; (3) was found guilty of indirect criminal contempt; and (4) neglected many client matters and failed to return his unearned fees. In addition, the record contained serious aggravating factors further demonstrating Respondent’s lack of fitness to practice law. Respondent: (1) failed to participate in the disciplinary process; (2) failed to report his convictions to the Disciplinary Board; and (3) sent strange and disturbing emails and letters to the CIA and White House. The Disciplinary Board found that the totality of Respondent’s misconduct and aggravating factors warranted Respondent’s disbarment. |
