PROBLEM: irrelevant, a respondent's awareness that his conduct will violate an ethical proscription is not itself material."). Simply because an attorney's conduct is intentional or dishonest does not by itself establish a dishonest or selfish motive.

These previous holdings of dishonest or selfish motive involved private attorneys, not public sector lawyers. See, e.g., Arrick, 180 Ariz. at 143, 882 P.2d at 950 (<HOLDING>); Shannon, 179 Ariz. at 69, 876 P.2d at 565

PROBLEM: at 1459-60 (references to subsidiary as "division" of Kodak not equivalent to evidence that two companies operated as "single economic entity"); Akzona, 607 F.Supp. at 238 (language of annual report and employee testimony describing subsidiaries as divisions of parent not sufficient, even in conjunction with other evidence, to establish alter ego relationship). ... In a case presenting similar questions, the Ninth Circuit found no alter ego relationship was created where the parent company guaranteed loans for the subsidiary, reviewed and approved major decisions, placed several of its directors on the subsidiary's board, and was closely involved in the subsidiary's pricing decisions.

But these cases do not hold that, if such actus reus evidence is adduced, there is some temporal limit on the jury's consideration of consciousness-of-guilt evidence to establish mens rea. Indeed, if flight or false exculpatory statements were indicative only of a defendant's knowledge and intent at the time of those actions, the evidence would be irrelevant to the charged crime and properly excluded.
