Ex-lawyer sentenced to 6 years' probation

Basically, he dropped a rock of crack cocaine out of his pocket onto the floor of the Drug Court, seduced a 17 year old female client, and stole her fathers car.

If you or I or any mere mortal (who's not a trial lawyer) pulled this kind of stunt we'd be in for ten to 20 ... well, maybe we'd only get 5 years hard labor if we "converted".

Harter, 40, pleaded guilty to three felonies -- theft, auto theft and cocaine possession -- and two misdemeanors -- intimidation and contributing to the delinquency of a minor -- in connection with a string of arrests in Marion County.
...
Harter's attorneys said he has not used drugs in a year and is now a devoted Christian.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
