Judge doesn't trust Arizona sheriff to fix some problems

PHOENIX (AP) — A judge presiding over a racial profiling case against an Arizona sheriff said Tuesday that he doesn't trust the sheriff's office to fix some of the problems involved in a recent contempt-of-court ruling against the famously defiant lawman.

U.S. District Judge Murray Snow said he doesn't think Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office can conduct adequate internal investigations into allegations of wrongdoing by employees, including a decision to prolong immigration patrols for months after the court ordered the practice stopped.

"I don't have confidence anymore in the direction of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office," Snow said at a hearing.

The judge convened the session to discuss possible punishment after his May 13 finding that Arpaio was in civil contempt for ignoring his orders. The decision could lead to a criminal contempt case involving possible fines or jail time.

or - how about San Quentin or Soledad..we certainly don't want him here in AZ - he has cost us enough...
