Two down, Three to Go

A second sheriff’s deputy has taken a plea deal in the case of against five deputies for beating James Moore to death.  According to bakersfield.com, “Angel Bravo pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of assault under the color of authority and was sentenced to three years probation.”  The second deputy, Lisa Romero, received the same deal last February.    It looks as though prosecutors are going to use the testimony of these two deputies to go after the remaining three officers for murder. In the mean time, they remain on paid administrative leave - which basically means they helped beat a man to death, but still got to keep their jobs.
Man, those dudes most have some great benefits.
