In four medical malpractice cases between 1997 and 2007, Connecticut judges sanctioned top defense lawyer Madonna Sacco for behavior that violated the Practice Book rules for discovery. Now there's a fifth case, and this time the judge has taken the rare step of finding that Sacco violated the Rules of Professional Conduct. He issued a $11,484 sanction against Sacco, noting that a previous $2,368 penalty in the same case for coaching witnesses who were being deposed "evidently" lacked enough "deterrent effect."
