1995In Hightower v. State Bar of California, 34 Cal.3d 150 , 666 P.2d 10 (1983), the Supreme Court stated the “fundamental question remains whether petitioner is a fit and proper person to be permitted to practice, and that question usually turns upon whether he has committed or is likely to continue to commit acts of moral turpitude.” In Hightower, the Court questioned “the wisdom of denying an applicant admission to the bar if that denial rests on the applicant’s choosing to assert his innocence regarding prior charges rather than acquiesce in a pragmatic confession.” Id.; see also Martin B. v.
