People v. Morrissette. 13PDJ041. August 14, 2013. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a conditional admission of misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended April Renee Morrissette (Attorney Registration Number 35247) from the practice of law for one year and one day, with six months to be served and the remaining six months and one day to be stayed pending completion of a two‐year period of probation, with conditions, effective August 14, 2013. On February 4, 2013, Morrissette pled guilty to felony menacing, a class‐five felony (C.R.S. § 18‐3‐206(1)(a)‐(b)), as well as to the related crime of misdemeanor child abuse (C.R.S. § 18‐6‐401(1), (7)(b)(ii)). Morrissette aimed a gun at a group of people, including a three‐year‐old child, in a threatening manner while yelling obscenities, and then shot into the ground. Morrissette received a two‐year deferred judgment and sentence with conditions for the menacing charge, and she was placed on a two‐year period of probation with conditions for the child abuse charge, which runs concurrent to the two‐year deferred sentence. Morrissette’s misconduct constitutes grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 8.4(b).
