Ex-Bryan Cave associate gets probation in partner death threat
A former associate at Bryan Cave has been sentenced to probation for leaving a death threat on a partner’s voice mail.
Ryan Walsh was sentenced on Tuesday after pleading guilty in February to transmitting a threat via interstate commerce, report the Am Law Daily and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He was fined $100 and sentenced to time served and three years of supervised release.
Walsh had been laid off in 2008 and left the threatening message for the St. Louis partner in 2013. Walsh has said he had bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The sentencing order bans him from contacting Bryan Cave employees, or from visiting their homes or the law firm’s offices. He will also submit to mental health evaluations.
