HARRY W. WELLFORD, Circuit Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the opinion in this troubling matter. I write separately to note my particular concern about the conduct of defendant’s counsel at trial in this case. Both the state and the prosecutor denied any role in the supposed concealed “deal” which attorney Bradley related to Ramos. Bradley himself conceded that rape was not subject to probation, yet averred that he engineered a secret deal to permit a defendant with a criminal record, who admitted guilt in raping a minor child, to be released in a year’s time. The actions of this counsel would appear to be worth investigating for professional misconduct.
