The Ohio Supreme Court has declined to take any disciplinary action against Trumbull County Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Becker, but that doesn’t make his unprofessional social media posts acceptable.
Becker is known throughout Trumbull County and even Ohio for his excellent work in fighting for victims of crime in his tough and thorough prosecution of criminals. He is a very good trial attorney and, at least once, he has been named Outstanding Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Ohio by the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association.
But even the best misstep, and unquestionably, Becker did.
A complaint filed with the Ohio Supreme Court in 2019 called into question several social media posts on Becker’s personal Twitter account that poked fun largely at county criminal defendants.
