Former Prosecutor Sentenced for Drug Conspiracy

Daniel Steinhauser, a former juvenile prosecutor in Denver, has been sentenced to 60 days in jail and five years of supervised probation after pleading guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The case arose when a teenager's parents discovered text messages where Steinhauser encouraged their son to smoke marijuana and hide his use. In a separate case, Robin Dunn, a former Jefferson County prosecutor in Idaho, was sentenced to 42 months in federal prison for his involvement in a drug trafficking conspiracy, including distributing fentanyl to an inmate. Dunn, who abused his position as an attorney, was also fined $50,000 and will serve three years of supervised release after his prison term. Both cases highlight serious ethical violations by individuals in the legal profession, prompting law enforcement officials to emphasize accountability and integrity. The actions of these attorneys have raised concerns about the impact on the justice system and community safety.
