The Hot Spring Convention Center belongs to the City of Hot Springs. The Bar meetings have always been a forum for political activity. I have not been able to ascertain what, if any, involvement any officer or staff of the Bar Association had in the affair. I have not been able to determine whether the attorney was released from custody or has been charged.
In my opinion, any lawyer involved in the affair has violated their attorney's oath to support the Constitution.
