A former Pennsylvania legislative staffer arrested on Computergate-related charges has sued two large law firms for malpractice, alleging their allegiances to state legislators caused them to ignore his pleas to strike a deal with prosecutors and testify against the legislators, resulting in 48 charges being brought against him.
Elmer “Al” Bowman, who ultimately pled guilty to one charge of conspiracy to commit conflict of interest, said in his complaint that subsequent conversations with prosecutors have led him to believe they would have offered him immunity for his testimony against legislators.
