08242009 - Ex's DV Criminal Case - Email from Attorney Shaw requesting I drop criminal charges

Attorney Shaw and my ex had failed to appear at all the court hearings for the criminal case. They failed to show up at the trial. With an arrest warrant issued for my ex, suddenly my ex wanted to settle the divorce property settlement. 

Attorney Shaw was requesting in this email that I drop the criminal charges against my ex and  in exchange they would immediately do a property settlement [At the June 24, 2009 divorce hearing, my ex and Attorney Shaw wanted the Court to award my ex 100% of all the marital assets].

I refused to drop the criminal charges, as I thought this was wrong. 

Instead, I had my ex arrested on the warrant at the September 2009 hearing. He pled guilty to threatening my life and was placed on probation.

I forwarded Shaw's email to the Indiana Attorney General's office regarding Shaw's unethical request that I drop criminal charges / pressuring me into dropping charges in exchange for a property settlement.
