The State Bar of Texas is pursuing a disciplinary action against a former Harris County assistant district attorney who allegedly struck deals with three jailhouse informants by offering leniency in exchange for testimony in a capital murder trial without notifying the defense.
The Bar’s Commission for Lawyer Discipline’s Sept. 25 petition, filed in a Harris County district court, alleges that Elizabeth A. Exley agreed to make favorable recommendations in the sentencing of two jailhouse informants and the parole hearing of a third if they testified against Edward George McGregor.
