    Good on this judge, lawyer should be disbarred for bringing the case to court

      I hope the case is publicized enough that tons of people write complaints to his state bar.

        So? Prosecutors have discretion.

          Yeah, you’re correct. I wasn’t trying to contradict but only add context. Prosecutes can be disbarred and the main issue is that he did choose to do this, apparently egregiously.
