The Oregon State Bar's Assistant Disciplinary Counsel Susan Roedl Cournoyer writes in a June 9 letter to Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty that materials gathered up to this point in the investigation may suggest Flaherty's actions with the grand jury broke state bar rules against conflicts of interest and "conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice." Cournoyer questions the legal theory at the heart of Flaherty's grand jury investigation. June 9, 2011.
