Powell Plea Deal Consequences

Question

Given Sidney Powell's plea deal: https://apnews.com/article/sidney-powell-plea-deal-georgia-election-indictment-ec7dc601ad78d756643aa2544028e9f5

The article indicates consequences:

As part of the deal, she will serve six years of probation, will be fined $6,000 and will have to write an apology letter to Georgia and its residents. She also recorded a statement for prosecutors and agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.

Said consequences seem trivial: her position seems precarious and the cost involved with a trial would dwarf the fine.

Are there any other consequences not found in the article (i.e. disbarred or the like)?

Answer 1

It’s a token punishment

But, I’m guessing that the testimony against others is more valuable to the prosecution than seeking a harsher penalty. Also, the relative leniency of this sentence may encourage others to flip. Plus, there’s no chance a jury might find her not guilty.

That said, it’s not unusual for star witnesses to be offered complete immunity, i.e. no punishment or conviction at all.

As for whether she can continue to be a lawyer, that’s for the bar associations in each state where she is licensed to practice. Criminal conviction is grounds for disbarment.
