Breaking Up That Old Gang Of Mine

The Illinois Supreme Court has disbarred an attorney convicted of criminal offenses relating to his involvement with a motorcycle gang.

We previously reported on the case by quoting this release from the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri

Also sentenced today was [attorney] Jerry L. Peteet, a/k/a “Angel,” once a well-known
criminal defense attorney in Gary, Indiana. Peteet was sentenced to a term of
276 months in prison.  Robinson, Peteet and 22 other defendants were indicted as
part of a vast federal investigation into the Wheels of Soul Outlaw Motorcycle
Club, a nationwide organization based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The Wheels
of Soul claim to be the largest mixed-race “outlaw” motorcycle club in the
United States, with more than 400 members and chapters in at least 25 states
nationwide.

He had been previously suspended for 30 days in Indiana for client-related misconduct. (Mike Frisch)
