I hear a lot of folks talking about the "hot water" Leeds and Caballero are in due to their "antics" during the Arditti trial. I hate to break it those of you who think something bad is going to happen to their law careers over this, but nothing is going to happen.
They don't do much to attorneys unless they steal from their clients and you can call those two a lot of things, but they are not thieves.
Don't go out spend a week's pay on a nice bottle of champagne hoping to celebrate their demise - you'll never get a chance to open it.
They'll get what amounts to a stern talking to behind closed doors and life will go on. They will continue to run over judges like they always have and those judges will cower in a corner because they're scared of them. When you carry the biggest stick, you call the shots in El Paso. Caballero and Leeds carry one hell of a big stick and they're not afraid to use it.
I dont think Judges are afraid of them, the last great hope is that the law knows no top and no bottom thus everyone has a right to appeal a Judge ruling.
Your right that the main thing state bars look to is injury to clients. Here as of now there appears little injury to the 5 police officers albeit depending how their case goes that may change but the 5 would still have to assert any injury claim and show how harmed.
As far as anyone who carries a 'big stick'...Fight the Power!
I think when a Esquire or Pro Per cites something they are free to use ... or paraphase etc submitting a document as evidence and complete and holding it out as such seems to differ from mere citing.
Its true a attorney only owes a duty to their client whereas a prosecutor for example whos a duty to Justice re Brady etc.

I think they should get their own reality TV show. Can you imagine how popular that show would be?

Actually there is not many cases near alleged facts, partly because each state treats spanking of lawyers differant, most states it is state confidential until any spanking, a few states publishes mere allegations, nevertheless re the National ABA standards etc the above AZ case nears how the Tx State Bar may rule. Starting on Page 6 line 17. I am not sure the El Paso Times alleged facts meets all the required elements under the ABA.

The judges aren't scared of them. They know they may need them down the road to defend them with all the Nepotism going around in this corrupt town.
