Shon Hopwood – formerly a convicted bank robber turned respected law professor at Georgetown Law – is now facing fresh legal troubles after charges of domestic violence were levelled against him in Washington, D.C. The charges include two counts of assault against his wife, Anne Marie Hopwood. This information first made its way to the public via a report in the Daily Mail.
The charges followed a police visit to Hopwood’s D.C. residence. His narrative journey, from leading a life of crime to becoming a member of the Supreme Court Bar, has made national headlines in the past. The recent development puts Hopwood back into the spotlight, but this time, as a criminal defendant yet again.
Additional details regarding the case and the full sequence of events leading to the professor’s charges can be found in the original report on Law.com.
