Ex-L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca sentenced to three years in prison in jail corruption scandal - LA Times
'In giving Baca three years in prison, Anderson struck a middle ground of sorts. '
'All along, Hochman argued that while Baca was upset by the FBI investigation, he never authorized anything illegal. '
'With Baca’s knowledge and, at times, his involvement, Tanaka oversaw a group of deputies and mid-level commanders who worked to derail the FBI investigation. '
'Prosecutors argued that word of the smuggled phone and the FBI investigation angered Baca and Tanaka, who viewed it as an unwarranted incursion into their territory by an outside agency. '
'Baca, 74 and suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, showed no emotion as the decision was read. '
