: Breaking Legal NewsAppeals court hears arguments in Carona case
By (Breaking Legal News)
Former Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona has asked an appeals court to reverse his 2009 conviction for witness tampering.
A panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Wednesday in Pasadena.
The former sheriff was sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison for trying to persuade ex-assistant sheriff Don Haidl to lie during a grand jury probe.
Carona's lawyers argued that prosecutors broke an ethical rule when they arranged for Haidl to secretly record an August 2007 conversation despite knowing Carona had retained a criminal defense attorney.
A federal attorney argued that the government used what he called "permissible decoys."
Carona was acquitted in January of conspiracy, mail fraud and a second witness tampering count in a sweeping public corruption case.
