The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court Disciplinary Board will disbar a former District Attorney

Bill Higgins can no longer practice law after he was arrested in April for using his power as the top criminal lawyer to help female drug dealers in exchange for sexual favors.

He pled guilty to all 31 counts in May as part of the deal which included no jail time. It will take effect on August 9.

balls — FILE - In this Feb. 14, 2020, file photo, baseballs occupy a bucket after use during fielding practice during spring training baseball workouts for pitchers and catchers at Cleveland Indians camp in Avondale, Ariz. Major League Baseball is suspending all political contributions in the wake of last week's invasion of the U.S. Capitol by a mob loyal to President Donald Trump, joining a wave of major corporations rethinking their efforts to lobby Washington. “In light of the unprecedented events last week at the U.S. Capitol, MLB is suspending contributions from its Political Action Committee pending a review of our political contribution policy going forward,” the league said in a statement to The Associated Press on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021.
