IN RE: JUSTIN TAFT MERRITT (2023)

I agree with much of what Justice Crichton wrote in his dissent. Although permanent disbarment is a severe sanction, it is unfortunately justified in this matter because the respondent filed no response, demonstrated no regret or remorse, and made no restitution. Accordingly, I respectfully dissent from the sanction imposed by the majority of this court.

WEIMER, C.J., dissenting in part.
