As one who has been following this story from afar it is encouraging to see the level of outrage expressed locally at the outrageous behavior of the Maricopa County Sheriff's office, and this Deputy in particular. He “did his job” my left foot… there is no way he could casually have glanced down and saw what he claimed to have seen to begin with. The judge was being kind in refuting that nonsense excuse. He deliberately walked over to the table where the files are (for what purpose?) and stopped so that he could deliberately read the contents of the document poking out from the file… and then had the nerve to remove it and concoct some post-facto lie to attempt to justify his actions.

Judge Lisa Flores was hugely incompetent as well for not stopping the proceedings to enquire as to what was taking place behind the defense table… since it was clearly happening in plain sight. The same goes for the professional disregard shown by the Prosecution for their colleague across the table. Had this been documents taken from the prosecution's files it would be interesting to hear what rationalizations his defenders would attempt to spin in order to justify his indefensible actions.

He did his job. Nobody is talking about the letter. The judicial system is going in this country, people like you protect criminals. I hope when all the criminals are free don't go to your house……………..

“apologize for doing the job I’ve been trained to do.”…

and what would that job training be? how to violate a defendant's attorney-client privileged? or just how to violate their rights in general? i hope this punk pig gets booked. we will see how long he wants to stay then. the county should also fire the 19 officers that didn't show up. because i am sure they all have received that special marikafka 'training' that tells them they are bound to a different set of laws than the rest of us 'citizens'.
