Celebrity DA Busted for Drug Crimes

No one gets more offended by hypocritical prosecutors than Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorneys, but quite often the general public is shocked and appalled when District Attorneys commit the very crimes they put people behind bars for. When a prosecutor is found picking up a prostitute, committing a violent crime or acting in some other illegal manner, it completely undermines the criminal justice system. There is a trust that people who work for the government are not committing the crimes they are entrusted by the people to prosecute.

Recently however, the District Attorney who prosecuted Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars in Las Vegas was scoring cocaine three to four times a week; and now, he has been locked out of his office and is about to get fired. He was busted Saturday night after going to a notorious area of Vegas for scoring drugs. He was stopped by cops when they observed a man getting inside his car. He was initially pulled over for a traffic violation. The passenger got out and ran when cops swarmed. According to the passenger, the district attorney, would come around three to four times a week and buy forty dollars worth of cocaine at a time. The prosecutor's name is David Schubert. According to the reports, the district attorney was buying cocaine while he was prosecuting both Paris Hilton and Bruno Mars for simlar drug offenses. The head of the Las Vegas District Attorney's office said "We are very disappointed. He has betrayed the trust that was placed in him. He's been locked out of his office, placed on suspension and is in the process fo being terminated."

When a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney defends someone charged with a drug offense, he usually has to battle an aggressive prosecuting attorney. Whether in Las Vegas or Los Angeles, the arguments are complicated and intense. For a prosecutor who has been "fighting crimes" to be caught in such a complex web of deceit is shameful. When a judge, politician or public prosecutor is arrested, the public loses faith and each of the guilty verdicts become suspect.
