Hopefully someone forwards this news story on to the ethics committee at her law school.

If, while you are in law school, you are convicted of a crime you have to notify the school. If you don't notify them that, in itself, is an ethics violation.

Don't forget she was also convicted of pulling a gun on the person who fired her from a radio station!!

The interference charge isn’t Lanker-Simons’ first experience with the local court system.

According to court records, she was charged in November 2005 in District Court with aggravated assault.

Lanker-Simons, then Meghan Michelena, pleaded guilty to the charge in May 2006 as part of a plea agreement, records indicate.

According to an affidavit, the charge stemmed from an incident in which Lanker-Simons walked into an Albany County radio station she’d been fired from with a Glock 22 .40 caliber handgun.

She confronted a man who had decided to terminate her, the affidavit reports. The man also told her, the court documents state, that she would not be rehired.

Lanker-Simons “pulled a semi-automatic pistol from her purse, waved the firearm around and pointed (the) firearm at (the man),” according to the affidavit.

The man, according to the affidavit, said he was “in fear for his life.”

The radio station, the affidavit states, was evacuated.

Albany County Sheriff’s Office deputies made contact with Lanker-Simons as she was attempting to leave the area in her vehicle and detained her at gunpoint…

She was sentenced to six years of probation in July 2006.

The probation sentence was subject to numerous stipulations, including refraining from owning firearms, undergoing counseling, paying fines and fees, completing community service and submitting letters of apology to victims.

Every jurisdiction's bar has some sort of "moral character" rule. Those of you that live in Wyoming I'm sure can bring that to the attention of the state's lawyers' regulatory society.

She won't be practicing in Wyoming, I can guarantee that.

We should make sure the world remembers her name.

She seems the absolute epitome of a rape "wolf cryer": An unattractive, obese woman, who probably feels bitter and unloved. Making a false rape threat would suddenly give her some attention, and make her feel more popular amongst other women. The other women would try to protect her and make her feel more loved and wanted. Plus she would be getting her own back on men, because they don't find her attractive.

As my prof who has a book on masculinity said to me... "It is a cruel world we live in"

I hope this ends with her wasting 5 years to get a degree when she's rightfully unable to pass the bar test.

one fucking joke and "RAORRR!" Meanwhile men are being beaten to shit and back over lies and there's no rallies for them.

In most if not all states even if she passes the BAR she can be denied a license to practice law because of past unethical behavior. But since she is a woman, she will most likely get a free pass.

YetAnotherCommenter · 2013-10-09T02:52:56+00:00

The comment the article makes about her obesity is unnecessary and frankly childish.

Other than that, a good article.

AustNerevar · 2013-10-08T06:13:12+00:00

Let's hope she's never allowed to practice law, anywhere. She blew her chance with this. I believe in second chances at forgiveness, but she doesn't deserve a second chance to take on so much responsibility when she obviously isn't trustworthy enough to handle it.

2013-10-08T13:40:57+00:00

The hoax is the first result you get if you google her name. She has destroyed her own career before it even began.

"I want to hate f*#k meg lanker so hard..."

One look at her and I knew it was a hoax from the first line.

DolphinSixFive · 2013-10-08T04:03:41+00:00

Wow. See you next Tuesday.
