NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Fletcher Long, the defense attorney most recently involved in the Vanderbilt rape case, has been disbarred. Long is one of two Clarksville attorneys who were found guilty of trying to extort $50,000 from a client.
The Tennessee Supreme Court has revoked Long’s license after suspending him in May.
Attorney Carrie Gasaway, who was convicted and suspended along with Long, is still maneuvering through the disciplinary process.
Long and Gasaway were convicted of extortion in Clarksville just four months ago.
They both agreed to forfeit their law licenses in exchange for probation instead of prison time.
A statement from the Board of Professional Responsibility said Long consented to the court’s decision.
