Backwards investigation from the Grand Jury on this probe. In one major unreported event from this decision is that government officials hope that Orange County Citizens will not be on the hook for misbehavior by the sherriffs department and neither will GTL, who by the way overcharge for inmate phone calls and participate in violations of their civil rights. Had they been the only one confessing to this crime you best believe that the Orange County District Attorney office will be trying to own GTL.
But lets look at this from another perspective.
1. Is the law being broken here. Yes the law is broken when you allow for recordings to exist and be heard and reheard damaging a scared tenet of the client attorney privelege. Orange County Sherriffs Department and GTL state they were unaware of the this occuring and in many cases the attorneys failed to report their numbers to have them not recorded. Yet try to use that as an excuse when you innocently purchase something from the swap meet or garage sale only to find out that the properrty was reported stolen and as the law reads " Knowingly or Unknowingly" you can still be charged with a felony. Or that you did not know that One drink can put kyou over the legal limit of .08 BAC and for that reason you should not be held accountable.
2. How convenient that the grand jury prosecutor/presenter is the co-conspirator/accomplice in many of the charges and/of investigations reported by public citizens and county personnel. This is equivalent to an accomplice of any crime to present the case of innocence for their defendant/friend before a court and how blanatly bias the whole presentantion will be presented . Still the conflict of interest is repeatedly overlooked in the County of Orange to the damgage of citizens Civil Rights who have paid taxes and served our nation.
3. No damage to cases is absurd. Each case should be heard on the merits of that case fro both defense attorneys, defendants, and court officials to determine on a case by case basis. The grand jury is in phase two of a trial phase, more commonly known as the penalty phase. In other words, they know they will be sued. One on one or by class action lawsuit so they are putting it out there that no harm no foul approach is acceptaple as a government bail out, but it does not work for common citizens.
Dont accept this crappy decision and move forward. Change the way grand jury probes are conducted in OCounty and realize that the biggest crooks are often asking for your vote again. The biggest crime in my opinion is the abuse of power to injure, persecute, and excute the citizens with less power due to economics, class, level of education, race, ethnicity, gender or any other reason some moran chooses.
The panel also finds the jail phone system was insufficiently supervised by the sheriff’s department, which says it is taking steps to ensure constitutional rights are protected.
