On Jan. 11, 2010, former House speaker Thomas Finneran was disbarred by the Supreme Judicial Court , which ruled that his federal obstruction of justice conviction made him ethically unsuited to work as an attorney. This was the result of Finneran's guilty plea for giving false information while under oath during a 2003 civic trial. Pictured, Finneran as he testified before the board of overseers in December 2007.
