Judge Rules Lawyers 'Orchestrated' Drunken Driving Arrest Of Schnitt Attorney In Schnitt/Bubba Trial THE MOUTH, JULY 8TH, 2015 –– In perhaps one of the most publicized trials ever, involving rival radio hosts, a Pinellas judge found Tuesday (7.7.15) three lawyers in the law firm that represented Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, “deliberately and maliciously” orchestrated the drunken driving arrest of an attorney representing Todd Schnitt. According to The Tampa Tribune, County Circuit Judge W. Douglas Baird found Stephen Diaco, Robert Adams and Adam Filthaut guilty of all but one of the ethics charges filed against them by the Florida Bar. Baird has scheduled a sanctions hearing for Aug. 6 and 7. That hearing will provide a forum for the parties to present case law and argue for appropriate sanctions. By Aug. 31, Baird will issue a report to the Florida Supreme Court with his recommendations. “Then,” Walker said, “it’s up to the Florida Supreme Court,” which has the final say on the case. The three members of the Adams & Diaco law firm were accused of setting up C. Philip Campbell’s (shown bottom) drunk driving arrest the night of Jan. 23, 2013. Campbell was representing Todd “MJ” Schnitt in his slander suit against another DJ, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem. Greg Kehoe, a Tampa attorney who represents Diaco in the bar proceedings, said the attorneys on trial don’t believe the ruling is supported by the evidence and testimony. “We will be appealing to the Supreme Court,” he said.
