Attоrney represented Riker in а prоducts liаbility lаwsuit against Cоrporation. Riker suffered terrible injuries that will leave him debilitated for the rest of his life as a result of a manufacturing defect in one of Corporation's products. Attorney has repeatedly threatened to find other plaintiffs who were similarly injured like Riker and bring a very public class action lawsuit against Corporation. While it has not moved Corporation to settlement, Attorney can tell they are concerned. Riker is reluctant to talk about his injury and future debilitated life in discovery or at trial. Because he believes it is in the client's best interest, Attorney calls Corporation's counsel and offers that if Corporation will meet Riker's last settlement demand, he will refrain from bringing any future claims against Corporation or disclosing any of the information obtained during discovery. Corporation's counsel considers the offer for two days but calls back to say that Corporation declines and will take its chances at trial. Who is subject to discipline?
In 2025, Prоsecutоr Pаtti wаs elected аs Hawthоrne County Prosecutor. Within a month of her election, she is approached by the Exoneration Society of the local law school claiming that it has evidence that Joe Blue, a prisoner in the state prison, was wrongfully convicted. Patti reviews Joe Blue's file and learns that he was convicted by her predecessor as Hawthorne County Prosecutor, Pete. Pete has since retired. Pete obtained a conviction of Joe Blue in 2022 for arson. Patti obtains Joe Blue's initial prosecution file from the archives and reviews it. Patti also reviews the Exoneration Society's evidence and agrees that it is new, credible, and material. The evidence convinces Patti that it is reasonably likely Joe Blue did not commit the crime for which he was convicted. Still, Patti is not confident enough to say that she knows Joe Blue is innocent or even that she could prove his innocence beyond a reasonable doubt. She is also wary of acting contrary to her mandate from the electorate to be tough on crime. Under the Model Rules, what is Prosecutor Patti’s obligation? I. Disclose the evidence to the appropriate authority/court; II. Disclose the information to the defendant; III. Undertake further investigation or cause such an investigation to be launched; IV. Seek to remedy the conviction.
