Wilkerson faces possible disbarment

State Sen. Dianne Wilkerson, in the midst of her write-in re-election campaign against challenger Sonia Chang-Diaz, may face disbarment proceedings, the Boston Globe reports.

The Globe reports that the state Bar Counsel has filed a complaint against the Wilkerson, a Boston Democrat, for allegedly lying under oath during a 2005 court hearing.

Wilkerson's testimony at the Superior Court hearing was "intentionally false, misleading, and deceptive," the Globe quotes from the complaint.

According to the complaint, the senator's testimony took place at a hearing in which her nephew, Jermaine Berry, requested a new trial with regards to the murder of Hazel Mack. Berry was convicted of voluntary manslaughter a year later, according to the Globe.

Wilkerson's testimony and her affidavit claimed that she was at a Boston police station when another relative, Isaac Wilkerson, was interviewed with regards to Mack's murder.

The complaint also stated that Wilkerson lied in her testimony by stating that during the interview the detectives repeatedly turned a tape recorder on an off.

Wilkerson is currently running a write-in campaign to defend her Suffolk County 2nd District Senate seat against Chang-Diaz, of Jamaica Plain, who beat her in the Democratic primary. She graduated from Boston College Law School in 1981 and became assistant legal council to Gov. Michael Dukakis in 1985.
