In re Spradling

Summary

The court reviewed disciplinary findings arising from respondent's prosecutions of Dana Chandler and Jacob Ewing. It held that the hearing panel erred in finding a competence violation based on isolated negligence, but that clear and convincing evidence supported violations for asserting a frivolous factual theory and knowingly making false statements to tribunals. The court also upheld the panel's refusal to admit respondent's polygraph results. The opinion text provided is truncated before the court's final disposition.
