Citing the threat of the novel coronavirus, former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has asked a federal judge to release him from a Texas prison while he fights to have his conviction tossed out.
The filing notes that President Trump said earlier this month that the government was considering releasing “nonviolent prisoners due to the grave risk of the virus spreading in a prison environment.”“Mr. Baca clearly fits the type of offender who should be released under the circumstances,” the motion states. Coleman declined to comment further.
Michael Cohen, 53, Trump’s former personal attorney, sought early release from a three-year prison sentence, citing the coronavirus. A federal judge scoffed at the request and denied it, saying it “appears to be just another effort to inject himself into the news cycle.” Anderson, the federal judge, will decide whether to grant Baca’s request for release. His filing was made in connection with a pending motion to have his conviction and sentence vacated.
Stay put! Those jails are missing a lot more corrupt cops too
Why not let everybody go then?

He shouldn’t get out , we expect the la times to keep us up to date with what happens.
Hi! No.

Let the corrupt cop rot in jail
How about no
that's where this , crook should be... anyways he's PC up.. and safe..
Sure he does!! The funny part is, given CA’s ridiculously weak criminal justice system, under the pacifist Newsom, he’ll probably skate.....like soooo many others 🤠
