Ramirez falsely told the chief disciplinary counsel that he was not aware of the assistant district attorney's actions, according to the stipulated facts. The prosecution was for acts that were 'clearly not criminal,' the judgment said.
At the time of the prosecution, Texas law authorized private citizens to sue for damages if a woman has an abortion after cardiac activity can be detected. Texas later banned nearly all abortions after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, just months after the woman's prosecution.
