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.
