Now is the time to put U.S. District Court Judge Frederick Martone away. He certainly didn’t serve out any punitive solution to Arredondo’s corruption conviction; in fact, Martone became part of the problem with his slap-on-the-hand sentencing of Arredondo. Martone exemplified just how deep the talons of corruption reach into government these days. A continuing saga, and yet another blatantly racist decision by a Federal official in a position of authority.

Arredondo recieved $6000 worth of sports tickets, $65,000 of "college fund" fraud money, and his fine was only $5,000 and $500 in restitution. Now he'll sit at home, watch Netflix and still be with his friends and family for the next 18 months. No sleeping in tents, green baloney or pink underwear. And he'll still collect his taxpayer supported pension and enjoy taxpayer paid healthcare for the rest of his life. And they say crime doesn't pay......

I was on the field with coach Arredondo the first year he had a whistle. I watched with interest as his political history unfolded, and was quite disappointed that he has played the "same old game" as many other elected officials.
Wish that he would have become a statesman, rather than a politician.

I see Leon has logged in his alter ego (Ateam1) again to make it appear as though somebody agrees with him. Pitiful Leon, just pitiful. But then I guess when you have multiple personality disorders you're never alone are you. You really are a sad little troll.

When Arpaio and Thomas files suits against county officials for corruption they were thrown out of court on a technicality by a judge friendly to the officials.
The cases WERE NEVER TRIED.
There was an abundance of evidence against the county officials and the Federal investigation had concluded it was appropriate for them to be tried.
But they were never re-tried.
ARIZONA has, probably, the most corrupt government of any state in the Union. Arizona makes New Jersey look like a governmental role model comparatively.

Next we'll have Ateam1 aka leon talking to an empty chair and emailing his deceased imaginary friend imaginary letters from his alter ego. And california leon is the one who is always badmouthing those who use a pen-name. So sad... and lame.
