Outcome corruption case, Sherff Blanas?

[nicki]

I heard that former Sheriff Lou Blanas was indicted quite a while back for corruption charges.

What was the outcome, were the charges dropped, is it still pending, did he cut a deal?

Oh, you're thinking of the FBI investigation... IIRC, it never went anywhere.

The problem with bringing up corruption is the reply: so what? That's not a problem according to the California legal system that warrants correcting. As far as judges are concerned about him, he issued CCW's to insiders and not everyone else- that's something they don't have a problem with, and if anything they like that! Expecting a sheriff to be punished in California for corruption is like expecting a volcano to shut down because someone at the EPA complains.

I rememebr Dunn in San Joaqauin got zapped by the feds...it didnt look like it was going anywhere either...one can only hope if he is guilty he eats it...

Yes, Sheriff Dunn did get to take a ride to Club Fed... However, I've heard that the FBI basically stopped working on the Blanas case. That's why I said I didn't think it went anywhere.
