Justice perverted

It is hard enough to deal with our government representatives. What are we to do when they break public faith to protect those who violate the same laws they are suppose to enforce? I realize that this is only one perspective, but we all are aware that this happens too often.

That's just wrong. Gives all public servants a bad rap when stuff like that happens.

That's almost as bad as the cop in Peoria that got away with manslaughter.

The good ol' boy network lives...

There are two different sets of law, don't you know??

Another case of "police" not serving or protecting the public, only their own. Not to say that all police officers are like this, but this instance is a complete conspiracy with the involvement of his fellow officers and supervisors as well.

Unfreaking beleiveable..

Wow!

What about "chain of custody" as it pertains to evidence?

Is there more to the story that we don't read in the article?

here are some follow up, he may not be clear yet..

CLEAR LAKE, Calif., Aug. 14, 2007 (KGO) (KGO) -- A woman was killed in a fatal boating accident in Lake County when a high-ranking official in the Lake County Sheriff's Department slammed his speed boat into a sailboat on Clear Lake. However, it is the man steering the sailboat who is now facing charges. New evidence is really raising questions about how this case is being handled.

The most surprising fact we uncovered is that Sheriff's investigators apparently refused to take statements from two witnesses. They have first hand information that could make a case against the driver of the power boat, the chief deputy sheriff.

Dan Noyes: "I'd like to talk to you, tomorrow maybe, are you going to be available for us?"

Russell Perdock, Chief Deputy Sheriff: "No, I won't."

It's still a mess.
