The article discusses the ethical implications surrounding Emil Bove III's actions in relation to the prosecution of Eric Adams. It suggests possible disciplinary actions against Bove and two other lawyers involved, supported by recommendations from former prosecutors and the New York City Bar Association. Judge Dale Ho now faces options, including appointing a special counsel to investigate the Department of Justice's conduct in dismissing the case. The article also references ABA rules that outline lawyers' ethical obligations, particularly Rule 3.3 and Rule 8.4, regarding false statements and professional misconduct.
ABA Rule 3.3 is similar to Rule 11. It prohibits lawyers from making false statements of fact or law to the court or to offer evidence known to be false.
One suggestion made by three former prosecutors is the appointment of a special counsel to examine the actions of the DoJ with respect to the dismissal.
