On April 17, 2009, the Orange County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay $3.75 million, plus an additional $900,000 in medical expenses to an illegal alien who was severely beaten by other inmates in the Orange County Central Jail. The Mexican national filed a lawsuit shortly after the incident.
Fernando Ramirez, 24, was in jail after being charged with molesting a 6-year-old girl at a local park. He eventually pled guilty to the lesser charge of battery against a child.Okay, first and foremost... my dad once told me from his time as a jailer, if you were a child molestor... you were the _#1_ target in jail population for beat downs. Criminals may be criminals, but ironically even they have a certain kind of "code"..
But then we get to the part of the story that throws me..
According to his attorney, Ramirez suffered brain damage and now needs help walking. Attorney Mark Eisenberg also claims that his client has been left with an intellect of a 4-year-old child.So how the hell did a 4-year old intellect know how to file a lawsuit? But back to the point of hand.. if the cops had been allowed to do their jobs, this guy would be back in Mexico, he'd have all his mental capacities, and we wouldn't be out 4 million dollars.
Now I guess the other obvious question... why would the board agree to this bogus crap of a "settlement"? And not only did they agree to do it, but
The Board of Supervisors made their decision in a closed-door session and have refused any comment on the matter.
Oh really? I'm thinking someone needs to be harassing these guys day in and day out to find out why they made this idiocy happen?
