Making The Victim Whole?

The Illinois Supreme Court has ordered a suspension of a year and a day of an attorney convicted of retail theft.

We had the story when the ethics charges were filed

 In the early afternoon of  February 22, 2013, Respondent was present at the Whole Foods supermarket in  River Forest, Illinois. She placed approximately seventeen articles of  merchandise, including food items and cosmetics, into her pockets and purse. The  items had a value of approximately $176.98. Thereafter, she walked past the cash  registers and attempted to leave the store without paying for the items. Loss  prevention agents detained Respondent outside the store. Respondent admitted to  taking the items, stating, “I don’t know why I did it.” The loss prevention  agents contacted the River Forest Police Department, and an officer responded to  the scene.

She had previously been sanctioned for unauthorized practice and driving under the influence.
