Attorney Carl J. Brizzi of Indianapolis; ethical leper-con
From 2002 through 2011, Carl was the elected prosecuting attorney for Marion County, Indiana, which includes Indianapolis.
In 2011, the Disciplinary Commission of the Indiana Supreme Court filed misconduct charges against Carl. Subsequently, the Commission found Carl guilty of misconduct for making public statements as a prosecutor that had a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing court proceedings and a substantial likelihood of heightening public condemnation of criminal defendants.
Comments made by Carl re: murder charges filed against Bruce Mendenhall at a press conference in 2008 such as:
Comments made in a press release by Carl when seven family members, including three children were discovered murdered in their Indianapolis home in 2006.
The Commission found Carl guilty of violating the Code of Conduct in making statements he knew would likely prejudice a defendant’s right to a fair trial. Of course Carl’s sole intent was to further his claimed status as a “tough-on-crime” DA. Carl didn’t much give a damn if a defendant received a fair trial!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for sending murders packing for life or for the death penalty. However, I don’t support any DA that finds it acceptable to break the rules just so he/she can put another notch on their conviction belts.
The voters in the Indianapolis area apparently had their fill of Carl the Loser by voting him out of office in November 2011.
As we speak (ca. March 2012) Carl practices law with Carl Brizzi and Associates at 698 Pro-Med Lane in Carmel, Indiana.
On his self-serving website at www.carlbrizzi.com, Carl fails to alert prospective victims (he calls them clients) about being found guilty of misconduct by the Indiana Supreme Court. I guess it wouldn’t help Carl in trying to earn a dishonest living as an attorney if he did so, right?
