Miami lawyer David Carnright, convicted of rape and serving a seven-year sentence, has chosen to undergo disciplinary revocation, resulting in his disbarment. This decision facilitates the discontinuation of professional disciplinary proceedings against him, although he plans to appeal his conviction. Carnright asserts he has substantial grounds proving ineffective counsel during his trial, planning to fight for a new trial to prove his innocence by 2030, when he's eligible to reapply to the Florida Bar. His conviction stands despite his claims and efforts to maintain his legal career.
Carnright expressed his belief in having "substantial grounds for an ineffective assistance of counsel claim and, ultimately, a new trial to prove (my) innocence once and for all."
Contention over the handling of his defense led Carnright to seek disciplinary revocation to expedite the end of his law career after being sentenced to seven years in prison.
