Three Cheers for Lisa Ballard and the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct

A brave police officer named Hunter Volner arrested and charged William Asa Hutchinson III, son of former Governor Asa Hutchinson, with DWI, speeding, refusing a chemical test, possession of cocaine and simultaneous possession of an illegal substance and a firearm.

The alleged conduct occurred on January 13, 2023. The information was dated January 15, 2023. It was filed on January 18, 2023. A copy is posted below.

On January 20, 2023, the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Professional Conduct filed an Order of Interim Suspension against Hutchinson III’s law license. (Also posted below.)

This is not the connected attorney’s first rodeo. He was arrested for driving while intoxicated three times in the past seven years according to the information.

The interim suspension comes exactly two years from when Mr. Hutchinson III’s previous probation and deferred suspension was terminated.

I cannot help but editorialize. Judge Susan Weaver transferred title to real estate I held in trust and possession of my personal property to a sleazy attorney’s alcoholic and fraudulent client, purportedly because I held the real estate in trust and did not hire an attorney to represent the trust for the hearing. I told Judge Weaver that I contacted many attorneys and none would get involved because it would bring his career to a screeching halt. I was sole trustee, settlor and beneficiary, so I wasn’t trying to represent another person.

Thus far the justices on the Court of Appeals have refused to let me make an appearance on behalf of my trust.

But, had I paid William Asa Hutchinson III $300 per hour or more to represent the trust, then assumably the trust would get to keep the property. I was named as a common defense defendant, and I was dismissed with prejudice (because I defended myself zealously). Judge Weaver was required to dismiss the common defense doctrine defendant at that time. Even a drunk and stoned attorney could probably have convinced the court of such.

I am grateful to Ms. Ballard and Sheriff Deputy Volner for doing their jobs. I pray there are enough people within the system who have the integrity to protect our nation from the tyrannical judicial officers and their attorney cronies who seem hell-bent on destroying our nation.

This is one small step in the right direction.
