Heading: Respondent's Exceptions to the Panel Report

Text: Respondent raises four exceptions to the panel's report. She asserts that: (1) there was no criminal or wrongful intent necessary to prove a violation of KRPC 8.4(c) when the PIP lien check was deposited into her trust account; (2) there was no clear and convincing evidence to support lack of supervision of her secretary under KRPC 5.3(b); (3) her simple manner of managing her trust account amount did not amount to a breach of duty to properly hold and safeguard property held for clients and third persons under KRPC 1.15(a), if no harm resulted to a client or to Farmers; and (4) the evidence supported neither the majority's recommendation of public censure nor the minority's recommendation of a 6-month suspension. We rule on the merits of Respondent's exceptions in the context of our discussion and disposition below.
