Ind. Courts - "Attorney's actions bring Behrman case back into spotlight"
Kim King of Fox 59 Indianapolis had this long story last evening. Some quotes:
INDIANAPOLIS - The mysterious murder of IU sophomore Jill Behrman in 2000, and conviction of suspect John Myers in 2006 is a case anyone living in Indiana the past decade will never forget. * * * Fox59 has now learned Patrick Baker, the Indianapolis attorney who agreed to represent John Myers pro bono, for free, faces charges he violated rules of professional conduct in the Behrman case. * * *Belton [ILB - no first name given in the Fox story] oversaw the case filed against Baker and is familiar with the charges.
"The case has three aspects, one how Baker got the case improperly, second how he improperly pointed the finger to another person and third how he asked Myers' family for money for the prosecution even though the family didn't have any money and Mr. Myers was a pauper," said Belton.
