R. Evid. 404(b).

|||||
Overview: Because a state bar association delayed prosecution of an attorney's disciplinary hearing, the attorney would not receive a full and fair hearing; thus, the court reconsidered the parties' negotiated sanctions and accepted them for the attorney's violation of Ky. Sup. Ct. R. 3.130-1.8(a); 1.7(a), (b); and 8.3(c); 1.3, 1.4(a), (b).

|||||
Overview: Attorney was disbarred, as the attorney was convicted of conspiracy to commit the crime of money laundering in federal court, which violated Ky. Sup. Ct. R. 3.130(8.3)(b), as the conviction reflected adversely on his honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer, and disbarment was not a disproportionate sanction.

|||||
Overview: In disciplinary hearings, due process required prison officials to lay a foundation and prove the reliability of field drug tests, but evidence of the officials' observations of the alleged drugs and the inmates' attempts to hide or destroy the drugs met the "some evidence" standard to support the loss of good time credit and other punishment.
