*UPDATE* – Miami Herald: Broward prosecutor accused of forging boss’ signature. Now, she could face discipline (6/26)

In response to a JAABLOG request** made at 12:11 PM today, the SAO sent over the following bar complaint authored by Neva Rainford-Smith concerning ASA Chandler Lefevere.

It’s anyone’s guess how the Bar will handle the matter (the SAO suggested diversion as an option in its complaint), but the following is the SAO’s statement concerning their own punishment of Lefevere for Memogate:

… (Assistant State Attorney Chandler Lefevere) is suspended without pay for five days effective July 1, she must complete an additional six months of employment probation, and she must complete a Florida Bar ethics course. A notice will be sent to the defense attorneys on all cases she has been assigned to handle and supervisors are reviewing all of those cases.

Is a five day suspension a sufficient punishment? Should it be more, or less? How should the Bar handle the matter? Has justice already been served?

YOU MAKE THE CALL!
