Theresa Olson's client got caught with his pants down. For her part, she got caught with her dress up. While the Seattle attorney was visiting her client, Sebastian Burns, in a King County Jail holding cell, officers reported seeing the two in a sexual encounter. She acknowledged having sexual contact, but not intercourse as alleged. Still, the incident heated the already red-hot publicity as Burns was on trial for a triple-murder. Olson was removed from the case and she resigned as a 16-year veteran public defender. She was also suspended by the Bar in 2005.
