BEAN, RUSSELL JENNINGS BPR # 001784
January 20, 1987 County:Hamilton District:3
Suspended for one (1) year and an additional indefinite period, by order entered January 20,
1987. He had been under interim suspension since a jury convicted him of larceny on October 7,
1986. He had taken from the possession of an FBI undercover agent a tape recorder which was
used to record his conversation with the agent. A mitigating factor in determining the length of
the suspension was the submission of affidavits from 3 of the jurors which stated that they would
not have voted to convict Bean had they known he would lose his law license. The jurors stated
that they did not believe Bean was a thief, but that he panicked when he discovered he was being
tape recorded. The Criminal Court suspended all but 5 months and 29 days of Bean's 3 year
sentence and placed him on probation for the remainder of the time.
