The Supreme Court has thrown out ethics charges against a former prosecutor accused of exerting improper influence against an agency he used to work for, but the panel still said the case ”highlights a series of troublesome practices and leaves a number of questions unanswered.”

The Office of Attorney Ethics accused Yaron Helmer of improperly influencing the actions of the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office when he represented a distribution company that was the victim of a fraudulent scheme.
