    You didn’t read the article.

    He’s being referred to a disciplinary committee. He will probably get a suspension for a period.

    Also why should the defendant of the case have the case thrown out because of the attorney’s conduct?

      Because they hired that attorney? They should have to start over and hire a different attorney. They can sue the original attorney if they didn’t know anything about the deception.

          Starting over because you had flawed representation is hardly a punishment.

          He should start over because he can hire someone who is actually competent this time. It’s basically a do-over.
