Call for disbarment of Kansas attorney over misconduct
A three attorney panel unanimously recommends that Jackie Spradling be disbarred for knowingly making false statements to juries in two high profile cases and for misleading claims about prosecutorial misconduct. The panel found a deliberate pattern of serious misconduct undermining confidence in justice and urged the Kansas Supreme Court to act. Spradling led prosecutions in the Dana Chandler and Jacob Ewing cases, with Chandler awaiting retrial and Ewing accepting a plea to avoid another trial.
