LA Times Endorsements Ignore Judicial Crimes, Spark Debate: Full Disclosure Network® Video Report
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Full Disclosure Network® (FDN) presents an online Video News Report here featuring experts who are challenging Judicial Corruption and LA Times endorsements of California Judges who received retroactive criminal immunity from prosecution for crimes involving "theft" and "fraud". Video here: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/Blogs/90.php.
JUDGES TO DEFEND RETROACTIVE CRIMINAL IMMUNITY?
In the video, court critic Richard I. Fine, Ph.D. challenges the LA Times-endorsed Judges to defend their integrity and qualifications for election reconfirmation to sit as California Judges. Fine had been held in contempt of court following his challenge of Superior Court Judge David Yaffe, who admitted taking illegal payments ($500,000.00) from LA County, who was a party to the case before him. Yaffe's release order stated that Fine had been incarcerated "to serve as a deterrent to other lawyers" who might try to challenge the Judges, a fact never reported in the LA Times.
ILLEGAL DOUBLE PENSION BENEFITS FOR JUDGES
Double benefits paid since 1987 to California judges were ruled illegal in 2008 (Sturgeon v. County of LA). The LA County Board of Supervisors will address the issue of Pension Benefit Reform on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, according to Tony Bell, spokesman for Supervisor Michael Antonovich. Estimates claim that LA County has paid over $300 million to California judges illegally.
