People v. West-Watt. 08PDJ076. August 22, 2008. Attorney Regulation. The Presiding Disciplinary Judge approved a Conditional Admission of Misconduct submitted by the parties and suspended Janet M. Stanlee West-Watt (Attorney Registration No. 22107) from the practice of law for a period of sixty days, all stayed upon the successful completion of a two-year period of probation with conditions, effective September 22, 2008. Respondent falsely testified in a criminal trial that she had a Ph.D. in psychology. Although Respondent had been working on her Ph.D., she had not been awarded it at the time of her testimony. The testimony was not material to the remainder of her testimony. Respondent’s misconduct constituted grounds for the imposition of discipline pursuant to C.R.C.P. 251.5 and violated Colo. RPC 8.4(c).
