I was actually disappointed about Angela's pregnancy. I was looking forward to her telling her father.

Me too, and I wanted her and Hodges back together.

regarding the video in the Bernardo case - Bernardo had hidden a video in some fairly clever place in his house, and the police missed it when they searched the place. The lawyer got it (I forget exactly how). This came out late in the day, and the lawyer did go through discipline hearings and criminal charges (for obstruction of justice), but he was acquitted of the criminal charges and the law society dropped the misconduct charges as well.
The fact that police didn't have the video is why Karla got such a sweet deal and is now a free woman - the prosecution needed her evidence or they had nothing. If they'd had the videos, well....

If the lawyer had turned to Video over to the police, how likely is it that he would have been discipline for violating ACP? Or more to the point, now that the Bernardo precedent exists, how likely would it be that an attorney who turned over an incriminating video would be face discipline for an ACP violation?

I knew someone would know! I couldn't bear to google.

Plus they didn't quite realize how actively involved she was. Ugh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks all!
Typo, I know the Ontario law society, after dropping the discipline charges against the lawyer, put together a special panel to look at the issue, but I don't recall what they actually came up with. They dropped the charges because of exactly the dilemna you describe, and there wasn't an answer in the Ontario code of conduct applying to lawyers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, it's Sean Maher on the Mentalist! I almost didn't recognize him, but can't figure out why.
