Defense attorney accuses DA of retaliation in prosecution of deputy sheriff

What about OPERATION Dollhouse?
Sex slavery,please everyone do some research.
Our Sheriff and undersheriff were detained at gunpoint by law enforcement ,i.e. F.B.I.,Clark County Sheriff's. Las Vegas Police.
Yesterday evening on Ch2,date Feb.23, 2015, D.A. Wagstaffe said on video that he stands by his e-mails to Sheriff Munks and Undersheriff Bolanos regarding the detainment of OPERATION DOLLHOUSE.
Wow, do not look in other counties backyards regarding corruption!!!!
Our Sheriff is in charge of Human Trafficking / sex slavery--via SB 1193 California law.

The Almanac reports this "Police in Las Vegas detained and questioned Mr. Munks and Undersheriff Carlos Bolanos after finding them on the premises of a brothel in an unmarked house in a residential neighborhood'

Compare that to Caught and Detained Sheriff Greg Munks and Undersheriff Carlos Bolanos inside the residence as Customers of Human Trafficked Sex Slaves some underaged.

Bear in mind that in 2012, Wagstaffe recused himself from the child pornography case involving Stuart Forrest, head of San Mateo probation. Wagstaffe told reporters that he thought it best to recuse himself because he had a professional relationship with Forrest.

But Wagstaffe, who is VERY good friends with Munks, and who arrested Lopez - at gunpoint!!- at Munks' request, doesn't think it necessary to recuse himself?

This is just BONKERS behavior by Wagstaffe. Keep digging, Almanac.

The professor quoted in this article, a totally neutral bystander, has acknowledged there is an appearance of retaliation. It's time for Mr. Wagstaffe to step aside. If Mr. Lopez truly has committed crimes, another prosecutorial office will see to it that he pays for these crimes, and Wagstaffe's goal of seeking punishment under the law will be fulfilled. By recusing his office, Mr. Wagstaffe can also address the accusations of retaliatory behavior. It seems like a win-win situation to me. Of course, if the goal, defined by Munks, is simply to harass Mr. Lopez with charges that normal prosecutors would never bring, a recusal would not accomplish this particular goal.

What Wagstaffe take the ethical high road? Of course not.

I spoke to the Board of Supervisors this morning on the subject of Prosecutorial Misconduct and the Scott Morris Bay City News Service article that was published in at least 5 County papers where he described Sheriff Deputy Juan Lopez as a former deputy, he quoted Steve Wagstaffe about Juan Lopez "when he was a deputy" and than the Embezzlement of up to $400,000 when $250. was all that was raised by donations.

Did Steve Wagstaffe contact Scott Morris to give those details that about 150,000 residents have read. No printed corrections. The Almanac was quick to change both corrections, but I haven't seen anything from the other papers yet.

Wagstaffe and Munks also got together to write an op-ed for the Mercury News on October 23, 2014 to voice their opposition to Prop. 47. Web Link

They are an extremely tight unit and both cover for each other. The right thing to do is to have the AG take over this case.

Many deputy sheriffs have information that would be helpful to attorney Stuart Hanlon in this case. They need to do the right thing and contact him.

I seem to remember a recall attempt was made to recall the Sheriff. How did that turn out. Heard a lot of hot air discussing it and how close and just about got enough signatures to proceed. How did that turn out. Care to address it Mr. Stogner?

SteveC: This is about the arrest of Juan Lopez, not a recall. [part removed.]

I know what the article is about Holly. Several posts referred to the Los Vegas incident. My comments are relevant.

I am waiting to see what happens in this case and am reserving judgment. If the Attorney General takes the case, ok.

Do people really believe that he will ever be a Deputy in San Mateo Co. again.

Steve C asks, "Do people really believe that he will ever be a Deputy in San Mateo Co. again."

I do because he is a San Mateo County Deputy.

Case started by a "Tip from inside the Jail" those are always great sources. Who was it and what was the tip?
2 Search Warrants the DA refuses to turn over since 8/4/2014
DMV Computer hacked to show Suspended license for a San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy, who happens to drive inmates around. The DA's office has previous knowledge of DMV Computer being hacked.

For just these three little reasons I say yes Juan Lopez will remain a San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy.

A story from BAY CITY NEWS, written by SCOTT MORRIS, about Deputy Juan Lopez-said former Deputy,and they also said $400,000.00 and that was corrected. I called them and asked their managing editor (Dan) and he said they do not attend court hearings. Dan told me that he does not know were the false statements came from. Wow, what a great news agency. I wonder were the false statements came from? Anyone want to take a guess?

Mr. de Paula:

I spoke to Scott Morris personally on the day the story came out. He stated that he thought he had seen the $400,000 figure in the documents and that DA Wagstaffe himself had called him to say that the figure was wrong.

I believe Morris. Sometimes reporters just make mistakes. News agencies like the Associated Press and Reuters have been known to make mistakes.

The reporter from the Chronicle sent me the notification sent out by Bay City News to all of their subscribers, noting the mistake about the $400,000 and asking that they change it to an "unspecified amount." It is then up to the individual newspapers to correct the error.

At this point I am more concerned about rooting out the corruption than focusing on the mistake. That's where people's energies should be.

Onward !

The reporter from the Chronicle received this correction from Bay City News on February 19, 2015

BCN30 -CORRECTION

The seventh graf of Thursday's BCN48 reports that Deputy Juan Lopez embezzled as much as $400,000 in campaign funds during his run for sheriff. Prosecutors have not specified an amount that was allegedly embezzled. Please omit the words "as much as $400,000 in" from that graf and read it:
