Andrew Thomas, Lisa Aubuchon and Rachel Alexander: The Disbarment Hearings

• Opening day, Sept. 12, 2011. Watch AZ Bar lawyer, Gleason's opening against former County Attorney Andrew Thomas/DCA Lisa Aubuchon/Rachel Alexander http://supremestateaz.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=6&clip_id=730

• Are you by chance referring to nose structure from the profile view?  I will acknowledge that she did not look very well put together today.  It probably was a rough weekend and not because of 9-11, but because of 9-12.

• You be better off with an elk from Montana!  I mean, really, she could have found a better lawyer on the back of the yellow pages!

• if i ever need a lawyer , ,please remind me not to go to Montana in search of one ...

• He's the same guy that is handling the claims by Blimp and the wicked witch from the east, I think.  He's hoping to score some racoon hunting money with those cases....  He needs a new cap!

• I thought it was my computer!  But I guess it wasn't!  I guess it's not easy for him to be so green!

• I was hoping I was the only one with that impression of the guy. You know the old expression, "The lawyer who defends himself has a fool for a client". In this case it might be, "The client who has hired this lawyer is indeed herself a fool". In fact, that may be the very reason she was fired from MCAO and she is facing disbarment. But what do we simpletons know?

• Now that you mention it.... I also thought it interesting when we heard a cell phone buzzing and Ms. Aubuchon went to the podium and retrieved it. Seems odd that a lawyer would have need for a cell phone while addressing the court. But, like you Gerry, I don't play the role on telly, either.

• Jason, Mr. Stern is known to nap while typing. Be gentle...

• Is Rachel related to President Nixon ?

• Aubuchon's lawyer looks like working "pro bono" puts him at the top pay for his qualifications!  The guy came off like a real bumpkin. And with the hearing not starting until 11am, you think Alexander would have had time to wash and comb her hair!  She looked like she'd just rolled out of bed.

• Do you occasionally hear Kermit the Frog show up when Rachel's attorney orients his head just so?

• All this time I've had a visual of Raymond Burr associated with your screen name... such a disappointment..

• Listening now. According to the lawyers for Aubuchon and Alexander, the girls have been nothing more than legal girl scouts and each should be given "Humanitarian of the Year" awards. Yawn....

• Oops: I meant to say attorneys.

• They can reapply in 5 years.  It involves both retaking the bar exam (which isn't THAT hard) and passing the character and fitness board, which will be more of a challenge.  They will have to prove their rehabilitation by clear and convincing evidence.  Almost no one gets back in after being disbarred (although some keep trying).

• It is being streamed live as well: http://www.azcourts.gov/pdj/VideoPage.aspx

• As you wish shadeaux14.  The conclusion of my metaphor is the same.  :-)

• Whoops. Fixed now. I'm gonna pretend that didn't happen...

• "Thomas was real tough with AARPaio and Henderbulk playing the part of momma's skirt. " Gerry, Since these 2 are "MEMBERS" of the MCSO command staff, don't you mean DADDY"S skirts?

• Let the games begin!  This is a warmup for the party we've all been waiting for, Pearce's going away party.  Thomas will begin his walk thru the gauntlet of shame escorted by two of his minions.... more to follow !!!!!!!!!!!!

• I read someplace that they can't re-take the test for 5 years.  We can hope they'll be convicted felons by then.

• I think it is 5 years, retake the exam and state your case for readmission.  I don't believe there is any guarantee of approval.  Just my take on it.  I am not a lawyer and I don't play on on TV either.

• After 5 years (on skidrow hopefully!)

• Ray, is it true that even if they get dis-barred, they just have to pass the exam again to get back?

• I found it interesting that Thomas himself was a no-show in the morning session. The little boy stayed home and cried while kicking his feet, I guess!

• It only makes sense that the defendant did not show up when you consider that it is Thomas.  I have always felt that Thomas was a pompous little wimp.  Wanting to be a bully and acting like a bully, but without the toughness to back it up.  He would go hit the big kid, then scurry back behind his momma's skirt and taunt the big kid from his position of safety.  Thomas was real tough with AARPaio and Henderbulk playing the part of momma's skirt.  Momma is not there to protect you now Andy.  Grow up, Man up, Show up!

• Ray: Judge O'Neil's name is William, not Thomas.

• Of course Candy Andy won't show up. He is a coward. Like Pearce and the Flaccid Fool of MCSO. Let's hope that Judge O'Neil makes the right decision and disbars these sleazy, corrupt, unethical, undisciplined, mentally unstable cowardly attroneys.
