Reviewed sting-related legal outcome. Sentence is explicitly reported in the live search-indexed article, not court verified. Its January 17, 2007 conviction date coincides with a State Bar eligibility change, while a registry aggregator gives 2006; no imposed date adopted. The disciplinary resignation is a separate professional matter and does not itself prove the criminal result. No current custody inference.
