Arizona court: Killer can't practice law

[SpursWoman]

Not paying child support when it is court ordered in a divorce decree is illegal.

Hamm, initially charged with two counts of murder, pleaded guilty to one and was sentenced to life in prison.

How did he get out of jail then?

I'm sorry, but last I checked not paying child support is not grounds for not being admitted to the bar. The issue at hand is of far greater importance, and that is wether or not a man guilty of 2 drug related murders is fit to rejoin society. If he is, then he should be able to persue the carreer he chooses. After all, he did his sentence, he paid his dues according to the state.

When is the last you checked?

Do not make light of not paying Child Support until you see the kids who can't eat because there is no food to go on the table while their deadbeat father lives wonderfully.

Being released from prison (which this guy was not) does not mean you don't have other life long consequences for killing a person. Yes, I believe if you murder someone you should never be allowed to serve on the bar. Thats an easy call for me.

lack of "good moral character."

WTF? This is a PREREQUISITE for the being a lawyer.

And I believe if you get busted for DWI you should never be allowed in a bar again!

Keeping this gentleman from taking the bar exam is pompous, ludicrous....outrageous!!!

[Mr. Peabody]

The state bar can take away your law license for failure to pay child support. They can also do it for failure to pay back student loans. Kinda sucks.

Being irresponsible kinda sucks, too.

No , why would you want to Duff your loans?
