Former MCSO Sheriff Joe Arpaio's new attorneys seek to dismiss or delay criminal contempt case

[TexasTowelie]

Attorneys for former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio are asking a judge to dismiss the criminal contempt charge he faces in a trial that's looming in just two weeks.

The defense team, now joined by Dennis and Jack Wilenchik, argued the case is barred by a one-year statute of limitations, according to a court filing.

If that argument is rejected by a judge, they are asking for a 60-day continuance of the trial, the document says.

It is the defense's third attempt at delaying the trial, this time citing last week's withdrawal of Arpaio's former lead defense attorney, Mel McDonald.

1. I know that they finally closed the tent jail

with the pink jumpsuits and the horrible food.

But please oh please can someone sentence this miserable excuse of a person to 3 years of a pup tent jail cell in the desert. He wouldn't last a summer in Phoenix but I think it would only be justice AND good practice for where he will spend the afterlife (and just because of this, I hope there IS an afterlife, at least for this asshole).
