It is insulting to the operation of law to allow a Deputy to steal documents from an attorney's file and go unpunished. A reasonable Sheriff would have fired the Deputy on the spot and the whole thing would have been concluded (although he should have been charged with a crime!). For a Sheriff to defend the theft committed by a Deputy (on video!), as justified, is ridiculous.<br>What is wrong with the people of Phoenix? How can they re-elect such an idiot? And where did they find the idiot lawyer, Liddy, that obviously knows nothing about the lawy of contempt ro first amendment rights or crime? Does anyone know if he actually has a law license?

I realize he was behind the defense attorney, but he was directly in front of the judge, who claimed just a few minutes later that she did not know what was happening! How could this incident seem to be appropriate to her? Isn't anyone pressing for an investigation?

While we still live under the rule of law, and not a military state, the deputy's actions are disgusting, and he should not be allowed authority in a courtroom until he understands that he is not above the law.

If Ms. Cuccia does not accept the apology, then the Officer goes to jail. I assume that this is what Mr. Liddy is referring too (but maybe I am a moron too, Jsun).

The Court security certainly did not have a warrant for the actions that they took and propably could have easily gotten one just upon the sworn testimony of the first deputy.
