Ohio Supreme Court
Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. McClenaghan, 57 Ohio St. 3d 21 (Ohio 1991)
565 N.E.2d 572; 1991 Ohio LEXIS 18
Brown, Douglas, Holmes, Moyer, Resnick, Sweeney, Wright
Office of Disciplinary Counsel v. McClenaghan
Opinion of the Court
We agree with relator that precedent supports imposing an indefinite suspension on respondent for his bribery conviction. Moreover, we find insufficient mitigating evidence to reduce that penalty. Respondent, formerly a high-ranking public official, bribed an employee in the division he had once headed. Letters of support do not easily mitigate such conduct. Therefore, we hereby adopt- the recommendation of the board and indefinitely suspend respondent from the practice of law. Costs taxed to respondent.
Judgment accordingly.
