Judge bans Chicago attorney from Garcia trial
(AP) — A judge banned a Chicago attorney on Tuesday from representing at trial a former doctor charged with killing four people with ties to an Omaha medical school, but allowed her legal partners to continue.
State law allows out-of-state attorneys in good standing to practice in Nebraska, as long as they are associated and appear with a Nebraska attorney.
Roger Brumback and William Hunter had been instrumental in Garcia's firing in 2001, and both men sent letters to medical boards that prevented Garcia from becoming licensed in other states and from finishing residency programs.
