Bracewell partner Paul Shechtman and Nina Morrison, senior litigation counsel at the Innocence Project, have asked New York's Appellate Division, Second Department to reconsider its recent decision to suspend a former prosecutor from the practice of law for two years, arguing that the sanction failed to "reflect the full extent of his wrongdoing."

The two-year suspension for Glenn Kurtzrock, who resigned from the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office in May 2017 after Brady violations in a homicide trial came to light, was itself an unusual penalty for prosecutorial misconduct in New York, but Shechtman and Morrison argued that the Second Department should reopen the disciplinary proceeding and combine it with an inquiry into Kurtzrock's conduct in another homicide trial.
