Baca to plead guilty

[Samuelx]

Not really they were the ones beating on the prisoners. It's been going on since at least 1969. I was working at a city PD and went to visit a sheriff I knew who had just gotten out of the acadamy and was assigned to the jail. I waited about 15-20 minutes to see him and he said they were busy tuning up an unruly prisoner in the elevator.

A few years back the state pasted a law that if you are a public employee and are convicted of a felony in connection with your employment you forfeited your retirement . I think it came about because of Baxter Dunn San Joaquin sheriff getting poped for some investment scam while using his position of Authority hope it applies to him

Sawman,

That's not what the law says.

Please check out Government Code section 7522.70

Doesn't matter if Baca serve time or not, for sure he's a felon now.

Government Code section 7522.70(b)

No Rico. You have to keep reading. If it all ended with 7522.70(b), we'd have a happy ending.

But let's keep reading and see what 7522.70(c) has to say:

"The elected public officer described in subdivision (b) shall forfeit only that portion of his or her rights and benefits that accrued on or after January 1, 2006, on account of his or her service in the elected public office held when the felony occurred."

Now let's remember that Dr. Baca maxed out his pension in 2004. There aren't any additionally accrued benefits after January 1, 2006.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news.

Not really. If he is convicted of a misdemeanor (the max sentence of six months points to that), then he may not be a convicted felon.

From the updated LA Times article "Baca appeared in court Wednesday morning for an arraignment on the felony charge."

Not sure how correct that is, however, or what was actually filed in the court documents. More news to come, I am sure.

So does this mean we can get Hillary in on this gig where the law applies to everyone as well?

The arraignment may be on a felony charge, but the final outcome, the final settlement, plea agreement and ruling by the court may be on a misdemeanor.

He signed a Plea (18-page agreement) for a single felony count from the Information brought forth by the Government.

The documents are all available online if you have a Pacer account.

He plead guilty to felony offense

He already plead guilty to felony offense, I doubt the court will reduce it to misdemeanor. Most likely he won't served his time in prison.

No, not on Hillary. The Hilldebeast is untouchable, she's above the law

Under the plea agreement, federal officials are recommending no more than six months. If the federal judge presiding over the case hands down a sentence of more than that, Baca could back out of the agreement and take his chances on an indictment.

This guilty-plea agreement also shields Baca from being prosecuted on other charges.

Baca would continue to collect almost all of his pension, currently $19,447.36, A MONTH .

went all the way to the top of the organization. Baca helped to orchestrate the attempts by subordinates to obstruct justice through witness tampering and harassment of an FBI agent.

That last quote I totally disagree with. They make it sound as if it was the politicians at the top who were corrupted by their subordinates.

Pure HogWash. In both psyhics and politics, crap always runs downhill. Not up.
