MIKE RAMOS for DA IF YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE A PAPER INTENSIVE CASE GET TO TRIAL

The San Bernardino Sun reports what we already know from the Colonies case & the Charter School case -- cases with a lot of paper & witnesses to marshall are not cases that will end up getting tried to verdict any time soon, especially with well funded private counsel fighting back.  I guess one way to look at it is that it keeps a campaign issue alive (fodder for the I will "continue the fight against corruption"). The latest chapter in Mike Ramos is the POST [Peace Officer Standards Training] scandal cases. See excellent Sun article at:http://www.sbsun.com/general-news/20131106/two-years-after-indictments-sb-county-sheriffs-post-corruption-case-fizzles#.UntI2Rc_5rg.email. First, my read is that there are many talented people not getting the promotions and support they need. Second, on specifically the POST scandal, why wasn't the employee association (SEBA) involved to ferret out what was a lax policy problem vs what was poor management and or oversight vs what was actual criminal conduct. I can't believe this mess.
