| Description | Colorado Ethics Watch has filed a complaint against Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott McInnis, saying that state attorney regulators should determine if McInnis violated the rules banning dishonesty and fraud for attorneys, CALL7 Investigators have learned.
McInnis conceded that portions of articles he submitted to the Hasan Family Foundation, as part of a $300,000 fellowship, were copied from a 1984 article by now-Supreme Court Justice Gregory Hobbs. He said a researcher made a mistake in copying the work.
"Even if it is true that Mr. McInnis did not know of the apparent plagiarism, he may still have engaged in conduct involving dishonesty or misrepresentation under Rule 8.4," the complaint said. "The Hasan Family appears to have been misled into believing that Mr. McInnis was going to perform all the work himself." |
