OAKLAND — The California State Bar has filed disciplinary charges against a former Alameda County prosecutor who allegedly sent an email to a judge pretending to be his own wife and falsely stating he’d been in a severe car wreck, court records show.
Levy responded to the state bar charges asking for discovery and arguing the case should qualify for the state bar’s Alternative Discipline Program, which would spare Levy more punitive consequences if the charge is found true. The state bar court rejected his initial document, stating in a memo that it had failed to meet technical filing requirements, court records show.
“I am and I know your names because he discussed you as he was preparing for this trial…He would have wanted to have you informed as I know how seriously he takes his work,” Levy allegedly wrote, of himself, in the email.Police drone aids in capture of East Bay kidnapping suspects, hostage release Levy’s email was sent one day after he informed defense attorneys for a man accused of rape that a key witness had been arrested for carjacking. It was a piece of information that the defense could have used to attack the woman’s credibility on the witness stand. While Levy was out, before his superior revealed the falsehoods in the email, prosecutors tried to get the defense to accept a plea deal for decades in prison, but ultimately agreed to a resolution that required only a four-year term.
