Opinion of the Court
Even if we were persuaded by re'spOhd~-exit `~ `testimony before the panel' of the board of co~missioner~; Gov. B. V(8) (b) states that "[a] certified copy of a' judgrnéi~t entry of conviction of an offense shall be don-elusive evidence of the commission Of `that offense in any disciplinary proceeding instituted against an att~ne\' bá,sed u~on the conviction." `
Th~ Code of Professional Responsibility há~ be~n adojted by this court under Gov. B. flT(1). We find th~t i~espondent violated Canon 1, DR 1-102(A) (3), which ~tate~ th~ a; lawyer shall not engage in illegal conduct iuvolv-iftg ~adtai turpitude.
Góv. R. 11(5) (a)' defines misedriduct a~s the comm!sL sjbh or conviction of a crime `involving moral `turpitude. Gov. R. V(6)(a) requires each attorney found guilty `of mis~ónduct to be disciplined. By his `conviction and ~ubse-quent incarceration, respo~Ient' has lessened public co~i,i'id~n~e. in the legal professidh ahd has reflected `substa~-ti~l discredit upon his fellow `la~yei~s.
W~ conclude that respoiident'inust `he permanently di's-. barred froth the practice Øf ~1aw.
