In Re Petition of Leo Stalnaker for Reinstatement

I concur in the opinion by Mr. Justice CHAPMAN because the judgment of the Circuit on the original trial was one of suspension and not disbarment. It was never the intention of the Circuit Court to disbar Stalnaker. To deny his petitions for reinstatement would be in effect now to change the judgment from suspension to permanent disbarment.

The Circuit Judge who considered the application for reinstatement after a full hearing and careful consideration recommended reinstatement.
