June 11th: Judge Charles Sebesta Disbarred (Anthony Charles Graves)(2011) Sometimes, the person under fire in a case isn’t just the one who committed the crime. On June 11th 2011 a prosecutor was disbarred years after a devastating murder case. One where he acted in ways unbefitting of a lawyer in order to bring a man to justice.
