In an email to staff on September 10, now-former 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley stated, “I really thought the decision would have come either during the CDAC conference or maybe even much later. But I was wrong. I just received the decision that I have been disbarred. In my opinion, this was the ultimate goal all along. Either force me to step down so the Governor can appoint a Democrat or take away everything I have worked for.”
