I'm just the opposite. I might spend time in jail but my job would be history.

Yes, she should be disbarred. I'm satisfied for the time being at least that she won't be getting paid through my tax dollars anymore.

Balze, remember in the other thread when I warned you about what was happening in Colorado would happen in Utah? I see it has already started.

It's amazing. Liberals flee the shitholes they create and move to conservative areas. Then decide that the conservative areas are too conservative for them so they go about trying to change them and in the process turn them into shitholes. This happened to New Hampshire and Colorado. Beautiful places destroyed by liberals.

About 25 years ago the stars and planets aligned and I spent two weeks at a place called the Silver King Hotel in Park City, UT while I was working on an audit in Salt Lake City, UT. When I think of heaven, I think it looks like Park City, UT 25 years ago. It figures liberals would eventually find Park City and screw it up.

Come on, it's a no contest plea to a misdemeanor for "criminal mischief," and it's a deferred adjudication. The chances of the Bar addressing this are slim to none.

Well, not actually. If your jurisdiction has a first offender deferment program and you had no prior arrests good chance you would get the same deal. Rich or poor, those deferment programs are available to everyone.

Yep, with no prior history of criminal activity, and the "harm" to the victims being low, (based on the dollar amounts of restitution reported as part of the plea agreements), in my experience most people in similar situations would get lenient treatment.

Prosecutors offer pleas to lesser charges to lighten their workload, and avoid the uncertainty of jury trials, and defendants ask for plea deals to lesser charges, to lower their sentences, and avoid the higher penalties that often result from the full array of charges, and the uncertainty of jury trials.
