re: Prosecutor (Former actor) resigns over relationship with sex assault victim

Is she the client? I thought he was an assistant DA?

(kinda splitting hairs, I guess)

ETA: nvm, you addressed that

While she wouldn’t be his client, most states have statutes which allow the ADA to exercise/represent a complainant’s rights. Because of the power dynamic of that relationship, I imagine his local ODC would think his trying to split that hair was adorable, as they were suspending him

So you're saying a bad defense is worse than no defense?

With the ODC (Office of Disciplinary Counsel)? Yes. They will generally offer a resolution if you own your shite and take your medicine. If you fight it, you had better hope you win, because if you don’t, they will fricking crucify you.
