#BacaPlease!

Sheriff Baca Pleas?  #BacaPlease?!

A CNN Article by Scott Glover, http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/10/us/former-los-angeles-sheriff-baca-plea updated on February 10, 2016, leads with:

"Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca pleaded guilty Wednesday to lying to federal investigators conducting a corruption and civil rights probe into the county jail system he once ran." 
Baca's attorney, Michael Zweiback, said the former sheriff entered the plea, in part, because he has "immense respect" for the sheriff's department and did not want to continue to "distract from their mission."
"He feels badly that this has been a cloud hanging over the department," Zweiback said. "He is truly sorry that he put them through this."
He said Baca "accepts full responsibility for what he plead guilty to" and is looking forward to sentencing and moving on with his life.

"Truly Sorry"???  hmm... "I do not think this word means what you think it means.

Baca Pleas? 

#BacaPuhleez?!

"Accepts full responsibility"???  How do you figure exactly?  Admitting to intentionally obstructing justice, showing absolutely NO REMORSE whatsoever and continuing to flagrantly obstruct said "Justice" to this very day... All While Collecting A $328,000 A Year Pension For Knowingly, Intentionally, and Wantonly Violating The Oath He Swore To Protect?!  FOR MORE THAN TWELVE YEARS... essentially amounting to one of the most flagrant Monell Violations of all time?!

"Today's charge and plea agreement demonstrate that illegal behavior within the Sheriff's Department went to the very top of the organization," U.S. Attorney Eileen M. Decker said in a prepared statement. "More importantly, this case illustrates that leaders who foster and then try to hide a corrupt culture will be held accountable."

An act done in complete absence of all jurisdiction cannot be a judicial act. Piper v. Pearson, id., 2 Gray 120. “It is no more than the act of a private citizen, pretending to have judicial power which does not exist at all. In such circumstances, to grant absolute judicial immunity is contrary to the public policy expectation that there shall be a Rule of Law.”

Zweiback said Baca was facing a MAXIMUM [emphasis added] of six months in custody under the agreement. He said both he and prosecutors were bound by the deal. If the judge did not agree to such a sentence, the deal would become moot, he said.

Writ of Quo Warranto to Congress

On September 28, 2015, the Senate Judiciary Committee and House Judiciary Committee received a Writ of Quo Warranto asking for a formal investigation into documented abuses of judicial immunity along with the Change.org #JudicialImmunityIsALemon petition:

Writ of Quo Warranto to Congress by StayOccupied

Justice For Alex Hill *TRIGGER ALERT*

Justice For Alex Hill: #JudicialImmunityIsALemon

Alex Hill was only two years old when she was murdered by the foster care system in July of 2013, and the little bit of time she spent on this planet does not make her any less worthy of Justice. 

http://fox43.com/2014/11/06/2-year-old-taken-away-from-parents-because-they-used-marijuana-killed-by-foster-mother/

Http://www.facebook.com/justiceforalexhill 

While one of Hill's foster care parents, Sherill Small was found guilty of murder and is currently serving a Life sentence without parole, it is unclear if the CPS caseworker, Trina Fowler, and the Mentor executives allegedly responsible for removing Alexandria from her loving biological home into much more adverse environments, resulting in her tragic death, ever received any disciplinary action whatsoever.

The BuzzFeed Investigative Article by Aram Roston & Jeremy Singer-Vine, (http://www.buzzfeed.com/aramroston/fostering-profits#.ucL3jmKpnL) describes National Mentor Holdings as a for-profit foster care provider.  "The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange as Civitas Solutions LLC, and markets itself as The Mentor Network. It is controlled by New York-based private equity fund Vestar Capital Partners."  The article goes on to say that at least six healthy children, including Hill, have died in Mentor custody since 2005,  "and in nearly all these cases there have been allegations that negligence by Mentor contributed to the deaths. Other children have been sexually or physically abused, sometimes after clear warning signs."

A landmark 1978 case, Monell v. Dept. of Social Services of the City of New York, assigned liability to local governments for constitutional violations by their employees.  Under the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, the Justice Department may sue for declaratory and equitable relief if any governmental authority or person acting on behalf of any governmental authority engages in "a pattern or practice of conduct by law enforcement officers...that deprives persons of rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States."  Both Child Protective Services and Mentor's policies and practices of deliberate indifference have been documented for well over two decades.

In April of 2015, the Senate Finance Committee began an inquiry into all fifty states' privatized foster care contracting practices, sending Mentor a six-page letter requesting detailed information about the firm’s business practices and treatment of the thousands of children in its care, on June 17.  In Aram Roston's follow-up article in BuzzFeed dated June 24, 2015 (http://www.buzzfeed.com/aramroston/senate-probing-mentor#.ji0AqJm2r8) he notes, "Sarah Magazine, the company spokesperson, said there was no relationship between the Senate’s questions to Mentor and the timing of the announcement that the firm was pulling out of foster care in five states. It also said that BuzzFeed News’ reporting did not influence its decision".

In Memory of Tamara Marie Brusso

In Memory of Tamara Marie Brusso 
(December 19, 1957 - July 30, 2012) Http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dignity-memorial/obituary.aspx?n=Tamara-Brusso&lc=1465&pid=159033748&mid=5197935 

On July 30, 2012, Phoenix Goddess Temple Founding Member, Tamara Marie Brusso, was found dead of an untreated blood clot aneurysm while awaiting her right to a speedy trial in the charges filed against her by Maricopa County Attorney's Office.  Due to Brusso's declared indigent status, her true cause of death was allegedly covered up and labeled "accidental overdose".  Brusso's body was cremated (in violation of her religious beliefs) and any evidence that the hospital and/or County Attorney's Office may have been negligent, was destroyed WITHOUT AN INVESTIGATION.  The Judge involved in the case, which AS OF THIS WRITING IN THE FALL OF 2015 HAS YET TO GO TO TRIAL AT GREAT EXPENSE TO THE TAXPAYERS OF ARIZONA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, issued a Stay-Away Order for all co-defendants, which may or may not have been unconstitutional and resulted in the tragic death of co-defendant and Phoenix Goddess Temple founding member, Tamara Marie Brusso, who might have received immediate and life-saving medical attention if she had not been court-ordered not to have contact with her only existing support system of her temple and her spiritual advisors, who were labeled "co-defendants" rather than innocent religious observers, who had yet to be proven guilty, while being denied their right to a speedy trial.

According to the Camp Verde Bugle News article dated September 8, 2011 http://cvbugle.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubsectionID=1&ArticleID=3180

"Among individuals arrested in Sedona was Goddess Temple founder Tracy Elise, 50, who was involved in a similar suspected brothel in Seattle, shut down by law enforcement in 2009. She was arrested in Sedona based on a Maricopa County Grand Jury warrant. Elise faces charges of prostitution, illegal control of a criminal enterprise, pandering and operating a house of prostitution.  Also arrested in Sedona were Tamara Brusso, 53, and Niki Faldemolaei, 51. Brusso was arrested based on a Grand Jury warrant from Maricopa County, and Faldemolaei was arrested on charges of participating in a criminal syndicate, keeping a house of prostitution, receiving earnings of prostitution, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Sedona Police Commander Marlayne Hatler says, the investigation involving Phoenix undercover officers and Sedona PD surveillance has been ongoing and more arrests are expected to be made. The Maricopa County indictment listed 33 names.  The Phoenix police investigation began in early August. Once it became apparent that Phoenix Temple also has operations in Sedona, it became a joint investigation."

On February 25, 2013 in a forum on DemocraticUnderground.com, co-indictee, Baba Dez posted,

"The media loves to spin a story.  Not only was I never charged with anything, I was never even wanted for questioning.  All charges were dropped against Sedona Temple's manager Niki Faldenmolaei; Tracy Elise's Goddess Temples were totally different organizations and the police made a grave error in thinking we were the same organizations.  This is all symptomatic of spiritual and sexual ignorance.  There is much education that needs to happen in Arizona, the USA and the world.  Humanity is still in the process of coming out of the Dark Ages."

From September 2011 until now, out of approximately 33 indictments, and approximately 40 co-defendants, all but three have been "resolved" by plea bargain.  The three resolved women with "unresolved cases", include deceased Tamara Brusso; while Phoenix Goddess Temple co-founder Tracy Elise, and her literal last co-defendant standing, are still awaiting their right to a speedy trial, and still awaiting discovery that contains exculpatory evidence, while taxpayer dollars have been allocated to another SIX HOUR PRETRIAL HEARING THIS MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2015.  Elise was told that only the next-of-kin can file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of Tamara Brusso, and hopes that the eventual exoneration a trial could finally provide, will help to honor Brusso's memory and their shared determination to exercise the right to exercise freedom of religion as is protected by the Constitution for the United States of America.

Call Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery's Office at 602.506.3411 and ask why limited taxpayer resources are being abused in prolonging a Trial By Ordeal of practitioners of an unpopular religion, in what may not even be the proper court of jurisdiction; and ask him to instead Please Investigate the Unconstitutional Death of Tamara Marie Brusso as an alleged Abuse of Judicial Immunity and Prosecutorial Misconduct exerted Under the Color of Law by Maricopa County officials.
