EVERGREEN, Ala. (AP) - A municipal judge could lose his law
license in connection with the mishandling of a $3.2 million estate
case.
John Brock runs a private practice in Evergreen and is the
city's municipal court judge. The 62-year-old pleaded guilty
Thursday to third-degree perjury in an estate case for knowingly
filing misleading documents.
Tony McLain is general counsel for the Alabama State Bar
Association. He said a complaint will go before the association's
disciplinary board.
He said the board generally finds crimes involving dishonesty or
misrepresentation to be "serious," and the harshest punishment
would likely be handed down.
Brock was ordered to pay a $3,000 fine, court costs and $500 to
the Alabama Crime Victims Fund. He also got a six-months suspended
jail sentence.
