Andrew Thomas, former Maricopa County Attorney and former deputy, Lisa Aubuchon were disbarred this morning by the three-member disciplinary panel of the Arizona State Supreme Court.
Former Deputy County Attorney Rachel Alexander's law license was suspended for six months and one day.
The disciplinary panel dismissed a few charges, but it found "clear and convincing evidence" that Thomas and Aubuchon abused their prosecutorial powers while trying to prosecute county Supervisors Mary Rose Wilcox and Don Stapley, Superior Court Judge Gary Donahoe, and others. The panel found that Thomas and Aubuchon launched unethical attacks on their political enemies.
Thomas and Aubuchon's attempted prosecutions were not in the interests of justice; often they were only aimed at embarrassing or burdening their enemies, the panel found.
