Attorney Jailed In Attempt to Disqualify L.A. Judge for Taking Bribes

Judges Criminal Acts Forgiven By Legislature?

clipped from www.familysecuritymatters.org The Full Disclosure Network recently attended a Los Angeles Superior Court Contempt hearing in Judge David Yaffe's courtroom, where he sentenced prominent anti-trust attorney Richard I. Fine to “coercive confinement”; in other words, Fine was sentenced to county jail indefinitely until such time as he provides to the Judge his personal financial information. As of today, Mr. Fine has been in solitary confinement for over two months. Judge Yaffe's actions came after attorney Fine pointed out that the Judge had taken illegal money from an interested party in the case. Writ of Habeas Corpus The fact that the Judge insisted on hearing the matter, which involved the County of Los Angeles, was challenged by Fine in a Writ of Habeas Corpus filed with the California Supreme Court just moments before the hearing. Fine pleaded unsuccessfully to the Judge to delay sentencing until both the State and Federal courts had an opportunity to consider his requests for re-hearing.
