Text: Here, the record evinces enough evidence that Odom commingled his clients' funds with his own. The sentence imposed by the Complaint Tribunal for such misconduct was too lenient. However, in recognizing the outlined purposes of punishment, we do not find disbarment an appropriate penalty. Therefore, we reverse the Tribunal's penalty and Order Odom's suspension from the practice of law for three (3) years. We find no need to discuss Odom's cross appeal in light of our ruling. REVERSED AND RENDERED. ROBERTSON, PITTMAN and BLASS, JJ., concur. DAN M. LEE, P.J., concurs in result only. HAWKINS, P.J., and PRATHER and SULLIVAN, JJ., dissent. ROY NOBLE LEE, C.J., not participating.
