The Florida Bar is moving forward to discipline three lawyers in the DUI setup of a courtroom rival, according to myfoxtampabay.com.

The Bar says there is enough probable cause for disciplinary proceedings against Stephen Diaco, Robert Adams, and Adam Filthaut.

During the trial, Schnitt's lead attorney was stopped for allegedly driving DUI.  A special prosecutor found that Campbell's arrest was a setup, which also invoved Sgt. Ray Fernandez, who was the head of TPD's DUI squad.

Fernandez was eventually fired for his role in the setup.

Prosecutors dropped charges against Campbell; the FBI is investigating whether his civil rights were violated.

The Florida Bar will file a formal complaint to the Florida Supreme Court. From there, the court will appoint a referee to look into the matter.
