If from a Twit, You Must Acquit! – and the Sheriff’s Defense

If from a Twit, You Must Acquit! – and the Sheriff’s Defense

If you pick a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a man and a dog”



November 5, 2007

California now has yet one more chance to prove that its justice system is not just another fata morgana. First there is OJ’s mangue glove and most recently, music producer Phil Spector’s murder trial ending in a mistrial, not to mention the Hilton debacle or the looney Lohan incident.

Now, Sheriff Michael Carona is indicted apparently based solely on testimony obtained form admitted tax evaders and former top aides. This morning, Orange County Sheriff Carona after pleading not guilty to federal public corruption, conspiracy and witness tampering charges, emphatically stated he does not plan to step down, “… because I am not guilty", he said. He also noted that "In America, all of us as Americans, even the sheriff of Orange County, has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty”. Going over the details of the indictment, Sheriff Carona’s forceful self-defense and the assistant sheriffs interviewed by the Real Orange program in KOCE, one can safely say that in this case, perhaps Sheriff Carona either did not read Mark Twain or simply dismissed his warning: “If you pick a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a man and a dog”

If accusations are from a Twits, You Must Acquit!
