Regardless of mounting evidence of widespread judicial corruption in Los Angeles County, California, annual reports of the US DOJ Public Integrity Section show not even a single indictment in 25 years
Los Angeles, September 30 - Human Rights Alert and Joseph Zernik, PhD, released compiled statistics from the annual reports of the past 25 years of the Public Integrity Section of the US Department of Justice. [1] Mounting evidence existed of widespread judicial corruption in Los Angeles County, California, [2] and official reports called for investigation of integrity, or lack thereof, of the Los Angeles Superior Court. [3] Regardless, the annual reports of the US DOJ Public Integrity Section showed not even a single indictment of a Los Angeles judge in the past 25 years.
In 2008, the U.S. attorney in L.A. decided to disband its Public Corruption Unit, in what was officially explained as a way to "enhance the effort to prosecute such cases." [4] And although in June 2010 it was announced that the Public Corruption Unit was re-established, [5] the US Attorney Office in Los Angeles refused to acknowledge receipt of any complaints, which were filed with the office, pertaining to judicial corruption, either before or after that date. [2]
The statistics were released in the wake of news of suicide of Justice Department prosecutor, who had played a lead role in the corruption case against former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) by the Public Integrity Section, [6] and who faced contempt hearings in that matter.
"One may reasonably conclude that the Public Corruption Section of the US Department of Justice was transformed in recent decades, as part of pattern of conduct of the US Department of Justice as a whole, which led Senator Leahy, Chair of the US Senate Judiciary Committee to propose already in 2009 that a Truth and Reconciliation Committee was needed as part of the review of conduct of the Department" [7] said Dr Zernik.
Human Rights Alert previously filed request with Attorney General Eric Holder for equal protection of the 10 million residents of Los Angeles County, California, against racketeering by judges of the courts. [8]
Human Rights Alert (NGO) is dedicated to discovering, archiving, and disseminating evidence of Human Rights violations by the justice systems of the State of California and the United States in Los Angeles, California, and beyond. Special emphasis is given to the unique role of computerized case management systems in the precipitous deterioration of integrity of the justice system.
