God damn, this is rich...

Ken Starr, pontificating moralist and Pepperdine law professor, faked letters of appeal to Gov. Schwarzenegger on behalf of a death row inmate.

The Washington Post has the scoop...

Here is an excerpt:

"We showed each person the declaration on their behalf, and they all said they didn't say that," Barankin said.

San Joaquin County prosecutor Charles F. Schultz also said the letters sent to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) last week were "untrue" and "pure fiction."

I think a complaint to the California Bar Association is in order.

Can one still teach law if one's suspended from the bar?
