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 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.

    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?

    Well, there was that software consultant that flew a plane into an IRS building. And then there's always postal workers.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    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. [;)]

    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.

    Well, he does need ample time to set up his retirement payments so he'll be comfortable when he's released [:(!] [}:)]
