A hollow legal victory
Re “Carona is acquitted on most counts,” Jan. 17
In one of the most hollow legal victories I can recall, Carona credits God for the statute of limitations as though it were divinely written for his personal absolution from responsibility.
I reserve my indignation for the political dolts who enabled him to elevate a car salesman and a well-connected attorney to a high-level sidekick position without regard for process or qualifications.
Carona was already ethically wired for the Hall of Shame, but Orange County supervisors unlocked the gate that protected the community from dishonorable use of political power and ambition in their public officials.
