Sheriff Carona Indicted in O.C.

Orange County Sheriff Mike
Carona has been indicted on federal corruption charges stemming from a
lengthy investigation into allegations that he had misused his office
for financial gain, law enforcement officials said Monday.






The indictment, filed under seal, is expected to be made public soon, perhaps as early as today, officials said.


 





A one-time close friend of Carona, former
Assistant Sheriff George Jaramillo, already has pleaded guilty in the
case, his attorney confirmed Monday. In the plea, Jaramillo admitted
that he had collected cash and gifts worth about $45,000 and had filed
false income tax returns concealing the income.
.? .? .
An indictment would mark a spectacular fall for the 52-year-old
sheriff, who only five years ago was widely seen as a rising star in
California Republican politics. Carona received widespread attention
after he led the search for the killer of a 5-year-old girl, Samantha
Runnion, whose kidnapping and murder captivated the nation. In the
months after that case, Carona was often mentioned as a possible
lieutenant governor candidate on a slate with Arnold Schwarzenegger.


So much for the Big Lie that Republican
"conservatives" with their superior moral "values" could clean up the
mess in Democratic "liberal" Los Angeles.

We need the Green Party.

It would be nice if some of our Greens interrupted fixing the Middle-East, Burma, and China long enough to write a letter-to-the-editor of the Los Angeles Times ( letters at latimes.com
 ) about how this shows (yet again) how the 2-party system is dysfunctional.? B.T.W. is anybody in communication with the O.C. Greens?? They might have some interesting thoughts about this coming on top of last week's wildfires.
