What should be the proper sanction for a lawyer convicted of felony and misdemeanor charges due to his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, who was later pardoned by the President?
The State Bar of Georgia and a special master’s recommended that he receive public reprimand, but the Georgia Supreme Court has rejected the recommendation and suggested that the proper sanction should be disbarment. “[I]t is hard for us to see how anything less than disbarment can be accepted here,” the court wrote in a unanimous opinion. The matter was remanded for further proceedings.
