A disbarred lawyer who lost an appeal to have his meth convictions thrown out expressed no bitterness at the ruling. Instead, Rand Csehy took the opportunity to thank the judge and district attorney who intervened in his “out-of-control life.”  

The state Court of Appeals ruled Friday that, although a judge improperly ordered Csehy to submit to a urine test in violation of his Fourth Amendment rights, there was probable cause to issue a warrant for subsequent blood tests that formed the basis for his conviction.
