A Georgia lawyer who's been practicing for 20 years narrowly escaped disbarment this week but may face further trouble ahead. In an opinion released Tuesday, the state Supreme Court suspended John M.B. Lewis IV for at least two years, over the objections of two justices who thought he should be disbarred. The sanction was based on a January guilty plea to cocaine possession. In a turn of events not noted in the justices' opinions, Lewis was indicted this month for possession of a firearm.
