An appropriate sentence in an inappropriate case
This earlier post reported on the troubling case of Connecticut criminal defense lawyer Phillip Russell, who pled guilty to assisting the commission of a felony by failing to report it while representing a church in connection with a child pornography/child predator investigation. Yesterday, Russell was sentenced to six months of home confinement, a $25,000 fine and 240 hours of community service. Russell has voluntarily agreed to a suspension of his law license and will likely be disbarred.
