Imagine that, are you surprised?
Keith Foster, who swore to uphold the law as a deputy chief of the Fresno Police Department but ended up tarnishing his badge to commit crimes, was found guilty Tuesday of federal drug-trafficking charges.
Foster, 53, kept his lips shut tight while looking despondently at his supporters when the verdict was announced in U.S. District Court in Fresno. Family members openly cried in the court.
The jury found Foster guilty of conspiring to distribute heroin and marijuana, two charges against him. The jury hung on six other charges.

I sure he was using the ill gotten funds to help the kids
Put him in a cell next to El Chapo Guzman.
I wonder if other professions ever have individual members go off the rails?
None that can legally murder you and get away with it.

There is no such thing as legal murder.

Doctors do it everyday,,but not on purpose that I could prove.
They almost got my wife,true. Subscribing two drugs that do not interchange with in the human body.

Well, there was that software consultant that flew a plane into an IRS building. And then there's always postal workers.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

OTOH, one would hope that a person WOULD get away with a legal murder. I mean, it's legal, right?

Of course. Rather than that nasty illegal kind, which is right out. [;)]
A ?regular? person would have be taken into custody immediately after being convicted, but not a ?special? person. He gets to leave court and is just being told to come back in October. Wouldn't want to ruin his summer plans now, would we?
Indeed!
One can hope a whacked out Heroin addicted druggie mugs and stabs his useless carcass while he is out walking the dog then robs his house during the funeral to get money for more drugs. It would be poetic justice.

I hate to rain on the conspiracy theory and privilege related angle here but delayed reporting is quite common, especially in federal cases. Often that decision is based on the convicted individuals bond and prior history. He's likely low flight risk, first time offender with a clean criminal history. Heaven forbid he goes home and offs himself depriving us of having to pay for his incarceration and geriatric care.

Well you can try. I have seen a local doctor who has been held on Federal charges for over a year, without bail on allegations of being a prescription mill doctor, without being as of yet convicted. Even in Federal court it is not unheard of bail being revoked upon conviction An officer of the law is sworn to uphold the law and should be always held to a higher standard, along with higher consequences for abusing the public trust.
Now if he was to "fall on his sword" while waiting sentencing, I wouldn't be bothered too much.
