A lawyer angered a San Antonio bankruptcy judge by disclosing in open court that ex-attorney Christopher “Chris” Pettit — accused of plundering millions of dollars belonging to his clients — had tried to commit suicide.
that were in tatters as a result of a drug addiction more than 30 years ago.
Keyser could have revealed Pettit’s suicide attempt in the privacy of the judge’s chambers rather than in court, Gargotta said. The exchange between Gargotta and Keyser capped a puzzling day for Pettit’s legal team, which offered only his testimony to support his request for $10,310 a month to cover living expenses.
Pettit had tapped a significant amount of money from his retirement accounts to fund his post-bankruptcy lifestyle. His bankruptcy lawyer has argued the accounts were funded with legitimate earnings, so creditors can’t claim them as assets of the bankruptcy estate for distribution to them. No determination on whether the retirement money is exempt from the bankruptcy estate has been made, however.
