Byron G. Stewart Is Drinking His Law License and Freedom Away

The Missouri disciplinary authorities have suspended Byron G. Stewart a lawyer who has progressively moved from simple drinking and driving into felony drinking and driving.  Here's a link to their opinion courtesy of the Legal Profession blawg.   Apparently, Mr. Stewart impressed the authorities with his recovery, but the Mo. Supremes think that a felony drunk driving conviction reflects poorly on the profession and are suspending Mr. Stewart for 6 months.  Mmmmm, maybe.
