Supreme Court Disbars Attorney, Candidate For Prosecutor

WHEELING, W.Va. -- The West Virginia Supreme Court has disbarred the Republican candidate for Ohio County prosecutor.

In an opinion issued Friday, the high court voted unanimously to annul Mark Blevins' law license.

The court said Blevins hired a convicted felon to intimidate four people who owed Blevins money and to secure a gun for him, actions that the court found "profoundly disturbing."

The court also said Blevins' contention that he was merely role playing "begs belief."

Blevins faces incumbent Democrat Scott Smith in the Nov. 7 general election.

4. It wouldn't surprise me if he did.
Remember, "It's O.K. if you're a Republican!"

:P
