SANTA ANA (CNS) - A prominent Orange County defense attorney is lashing out at an appellate court ruling that criticized him, another local attorney and the state Bar for their response to a serial rapist's attempts to appeal his convictions.
The ruling penned by Associate Justice William W. Bedsworth of Division Three of the Fourth District Court of Appeal primarily scolds defense attorney Michael Molfetta, who was sued by the serial rapist, Sekayi Rudo White. The ruling upholds a lower court ruling finding in favor of Molfetta.
White, now 43, represented himself in a civil lawsuit against Molfetta, who handled the defendant's motion for new trial and represented him at sentencing in June 2012, when he was handed a term of 112 years to life in prison for raping five women and molesting a sixth victim.
