Jon Alexander, the elected District Attorney of Del Norte County, recently faced the California State Bar Court for allegations of professional misconduct. Seven charges of misconduct were issued against Alexander last year for various occurrences that transpired during his time as the DA. One of the charges relates to an event where Alexander allegedly spoke with a represented defendant about a case without defense counsel present. Other alleged offenses include failing to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence.
Alexander's professional license defense was reportedly void of any sign of remorse or recognition of misconduct. This seems to have factored heavily in the court's decision as the judge pointed out that his claims of discriminatory prosecution were without support. The judge also noted that Alexander's supporters did not fully comprehend the gravity of the situation.
Based on the showing by prosecutors, Judge Lucy Armendariz dismissed four of the charges, but also ordered that Alexander's law license be placed on inactive status. The judge also recommended that he suffer disbarment. Alexander still has the ability to request a review of this decision within 30 days. He released an email which suggests that he is considering taking this step. For now we will have to wait to see how the case plays out in the near future.
