Dissenting Opinion

Wright, J.,

dissenting. Regrettably, I must respectfully dissent. I recognize the mitigating factors in this case; nevertheless, I believe this court should be consistent in its treatment of this type of case. Accordingly, I would suspend Bortz for one year and stay six months of the suspension.
