Indiana Supreme Court Reprimands AG Todd Rokita for Controversial Fox News Comments

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has been publicly reprimanded and fined $250 by the Indiana Supreme Court for making remarks about an abortion doctor that amounted to "attorney misconduct." Rokita accused the doctor of being an "abortion activist" with a history of failing to report similar procedures to state officials. The court found that Rokita's comments violated professional conduct rules and had a substantial likelihood of prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding. Rokita has been ordered to issue a prompt and sincere apology to the doctor.
