The Carona Trial-From "America's Sheriff" to "The Little Sheriff"

"The Little Sheriff"



Thank God, former Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona decided not to plead guilty to federal corruption charges. As a result, Orange County residents will get a daily dose of just how ridiculous this guy was.

Friday's testimony by Lisa Jaramillo was highlighted by a new figure in the trial; "The Little Sheriff" (Mike Carona's penis). Seems that Mike, who we now know was using his office to score more than money, liked to refer to his male organ as, "The Little Sheriff". In fact, so proud was he of his junior partner, that he sent a couple of birthday cards to Lisa (which were shown to the jury by Prosecutor Ken Julian.) In one of the cards, Sheriff Mike asked Jaramillo (the wife of his asst Sheriff, George Jaramillo), if she wore "butt-floss-style panties". In both of the cards in question, Mike signed them with his own name, those of his family and "The Little Sheriff".

At one point, Lisa broke down on the stand, turned to Debbie Carona (a co-defendant) and said, "I know I wasn't a very good friend."

Of course, it has already come out that Sheriff Mike was having sex with another co-conspirator, Debra Hoffman and Lisa's sister, Erica Hill.

And to top it all off, Judge Andrew Guilford, at one point, asked the attorneys (who were arguing for exclusion of testimony regarding the affairs with Hoffman and Hill), "I didn't hear a motion to strike 'The Little Sheriff'".

With this trial expected to go a couple of months, this should keep Angels' fans entertained until another baseball season begins. As for the lack of NFL football in Southern California-who cares? We have the Carona trial.
