Turns out, a lot of our pre-law students were right, in that the revelation of player misconduct by lawyer Christopher Cicero in an email to Jim Tressel may have constituted professional misconduct by an attorney in the state of Ohio. The Ohio Supreme Court's Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline are recommending Cicero be suspended from practicing law for 6 months, and pay $2800 in court fees, since he revealed information obtained in an interview of a client or prospective client.
Maybe apologists aren't necessarily vindicated. It seems more like everyone touched by this scandal is paying a hefty price, no matter how minor of a role they played.

Is it 2013 yet?
no shit, you can't go tell people what your clients tell you, its called common sense
Yeah that lawyer is a goofball. He has a checkered past anyway. It's not vindication of others wrong doing that he also did wrong (everybody already knew he did wrong anyway, don't need to be pre-law to know that).
Such an unbelievable chain of events. An alumni shares information that he surely feels is in the best interest of the coach and the university to know. What was most likely originally thought of as a good deed eventually led to a legendary coach being fired, a Heisman candidate leaving school in shame, star players being suspended, a university being sanctioned, and his own disbarment.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

@Thaprince614 It's actually called Attorney-Client Privilege
This doesn't really absolve Tressel. All it says is that he was being an idiot, not that Tressel would have been obstructing justice or anything.
