(UNDATED) – A prehearing conference to discuss matters pertaining to St. Joseph County Prosecutor Deborah Davis has been rescheduled.

The Attorney Discipline Board met virtually at 10 AM Monday. Also in attendance was Davis, along with Attorney Austin Blessing-Nelson, Counsel for the Attorney Grievance Commission.

As the conference started, Blessing-Nelson asked for an adjournment based on a conversation he had with Davis. LINKC.

Board Chairman David Peterson asked Davis if she though she could have someone hired and ready to go in a couple of weeks. Davis says she didn’t think that would be possible. LINKD.

Blessing-Nelson then suggested 60 days to give Davis enough time to find a lawyer and allow them to go over all the materials. The Board agreed to reconvene on June 5 at 10 AM.

It’s alleged that Davis, who was an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney at the time, lied and or made false, evasive and misleading statements to District Court Judge Jeffrey Middleton at least 8 times during a hearing on January 15, 2024.

Then St. Joseph County Prosecutor David Marvin conducted an investigation into the matter. His conclusion of the investigation led to Davis being fired from the Prosecutor’s Office on January 25.
