A Republican candidate for lieutenant governor who accused court officials of misconduct and other attorneys of participating in illegal baby trafficking lost his law license Friday.
The Kansas Supreme Court disbarred Bret D. Landrith, of Topeka, citing his comments about officials and other attorneys, which it said he had failed to support with "even an iota" of evidence. The court also questioned his competence.
Landrith said during an interview that he's been singled out for attempting to protect the rights of his clients. His running mate, GOP gubernatorial candidate Dennis Hawver, an Ozawkie attorney, promised to keep Landrith on his ticket for the August 2006 primary.
"None of the disciplinary complaints against Bret were brought by his clients. His clients are 100 percent behind him," Hawver said. "He's looking into areas - events here in Kansas - that people don't want him to look into."
