Written by the judges who cited it.
The opinion
Lundberg Stratton, J.,
dissenting.
{¶ 22} I dissent only because I disagree with the sanction. While I agree with the finding of violations, I would impose a six-month suspension, all stayed upon conditions. I believe that Cicero’s intentions were not for personal aggrandizement or personal gain, as found by the majority, but were to alert the coach about misconduct by his players that could affect the team. His request that such information be held confidential does not support the notion that he was trying to seek fame. That conclusion is contrary to the content of the e-mails. Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
O’Donnell, J., concurs in the foregoing opinion.
