Former sheriff Michael Carona Corruption Trail started today
By Michael Webster: Investigative reporter October 27, 2008 at 9:55 PM PDT
Michael Carona former Orange County sheriff also known early in his career as sheriff began his U.S. tour today with the opening of corruption statements from the prosecution and defense lawyers. Carona attachment to the defense table with defense attorneys, Jeffrey Rawitz and Sun Brian along with her lover and co-defendant Debra Hoffman. They seemed to be listening intently as prosecutors and defense lawyers presented their very different versions to the jury as to the facts in the expected path in a room full mostly of journalists, friends and family of lawyers and other members of the U.S. attorney's office.
The early morning crowd watched overrun by an independent process on the sixth floor of the federal court house in Santa Ana California.
Deborah Carona's wife of former commissioner, who also is accused in the case, but goes to trial after her husband, watched the proceedings from a seat not far from the defense table.
First, in the afternoon proceedings, Hoffman's attorney, Sylvia Torres-Guillen told jurors that charges were filed against his client only by what the prosecution could prove that "Sheriff America" had an extramarital affair.
"They dragged her here because it makes your sexy story that much, "Torres-Guillen said.
Torres-Guillen told the jury that Hoffman failed to become rich through its association with Carona, but fell into debt because of his association with the law before being assistant sheriff George Jaramillo, who neglected his office when he began working with Carona. The company obtained a loan of $ 110,000 and Hoffman Haidl earned about $ 70,000 as compensation when he left Haidl of the company – money always intended to pay, his lawyer said. Jaramillo later charged and convicted himself and is expected to witness against Michael Carona.
Hoffman did not release the money in the bankruptcy documents because they are bad legal advice, Torres-Guillen said, adding that there is no conspiracy and that his client should not even be here.
The first witness called by the government was Mark Dilullo, pilot and owner of his own company in Rancho Cucamonga. He said had a longstanding relationship with then-Sheriff Carona and Don Haidl government's star witness in the case and told the jury that he knew the men before and after Carona won office.
Dilullo describing himself as a friend and business associate of Haidl said he or his company flew Haidl and friends to many different places and said he had also worked for Haidl.
Dilullo livened up the room when he testified under oath that Assistant Sheriff Haidl ask who asked trusted close friends, family and associates to illegally donating money to Carona's 1998 campaign. He himself, parents and a brother who is an officer U.S. Marines stationed at Camp Pendleton. The total amount donated was about $ 5,000 in checks. He also won three other friends to donate $ 1,000 each in controls.
Dilullo said on the stand that the knowledge Carona Haidl reimbursed in cash contributions. Dilullo said then gave money in cash to all donors to Carona's campaign.
Dilullo also said Carona, Haidl paid for using private jets for personal and field trips to Lake Tahoe in California and Las Vegas, Nevada.
A request Dilullo said Haidl arranged for a big ad campaign to be flown on Orange County beaches during the Carona campaign. He told the courtroom that Haidl introduced him to Carona over the phone, and that Carona also ordered that the flag flown over the house of Police Chief of Santa Ana, Paul Walters – who was Carona's leading opponent in that election.
Dilullo testified Haidl gave him $ 5,000 in cash to pay for the flag, the pilot and the aircraft.
"Carona said he did not want anyone to know about it. Dilullo said.
Dilullo told jurors that Carona made Haidl plane trips to Las Vegas, including a time with his mistress Debra Hoffman. He said both Carona and Haidl told him to ensure that Hoffman's name was left off the records of the flights. In yet another trip to Las Vegas at the opening of the new Bellagio casino, Dilullo said he saw Haidl hand Carona between $ 4,000 and $ 6,000 the value of casino chips and more chips to Corona's wife Deborah, in the same casino.
His alleged Carona illegally won office in 1998 after accepting several thousand dollars in campaign contributions, then handed out favors to political supporters bribed him with cash and gifts, prosecutors told the jury.
Carona defense lawyer denied the accusations, describing the government's probe as an assault "relentless" based on lies informants willing to sully the lawman decorated in exchange for lighter sentences.
Called by the Los Angeles Times and the corruption case higher public profile ever prosecuted in Orange County. The corruption case is before the Honorable Judge of the U.S. District Court Andrew Guilford in the room 10 C. Cutting
The indictment accuses Carona of using his public office to enrich himself, his wife and his former lover and co-defendant Debra Hoffman – a lawyer Newport Beach, told authorities she had an affair with Carona in 1998.
In the center of the government's case is the billionaire businessman Donald Haidl, who helped bankroll Carona's 1998 campaign and was appointed Carona assistant sheriff even though he lacked the training and experience for the job.
The alleged scheme began in 1997 when manager Carona's campaign, George Jaramillo, arranged for Haidl and Carona to meet. Haidl saw the pair as a political party perfect: Carona the preacher man and Jaramillo the pickpocket, Sagel said. At the meeting, Carona promised Haidl a job as a deputy sheriff, full access to the resources of the sheriff and "Out of jail free card," Sagel said.
"Don Haidl was looking to buy power," Sagel said. "Mike Carona and George Jaramillo were selling it. "
The aspiring sheriff and Jaramillo told Haidl that if he got enough money to win the election "you, Don Haidl, will own the Sheriff's Department, "Sagel said.
With the knowledge of Carona, Sagel said, Haidl illegally reimbursed donors to the 1998 campaign Carona, a scheme that allowed him to exceed the $ 1,000 county on campaign contributions. After Carona won elections, the prosecutor said, Haidl paid vacation to Lake Tahoe sheriff, slipping him thousands of dollars in casino chips, allowed him unlimited use of his yacht and private jet, and paid him $ 1,000 a month in cash – money the sheriff used primarily to entertain her lover.
The greater part of his fiscal damage is the case secretly recorded conversations between Haidl and Carona in which the two men discussed the "untraceable" cash bribes. Prosecutors allege that Haidl paid Carona at least $ 42,000 in cash, much of it changing hands during secret meetings in Haidl's kitchen, and that in August 2007, Haidl and Carona discussed bribes as Haidl wore a wire for prosecutors.
"Unless there was a hole in your roof the night before… Happened," Carona can be heard saying Haidl during the conversation played for jurors. "And that part is why I sleep real well at night."
Sagel told jurors the hole in the floor was a reference to a hidden camera and that Carona was aware of pinhole cameras because he had ordered four installed in his Santa Ana office.
Haidl and Jaramillo have pleaded guilty to charges of tax evasion and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. Your cooperation will be taken into account when sentencing. Sun said the two men have sold prosecutors "a bill of goods", and falsely imply Carona to win leniency.
Prosecutors also argue that the former commissioner was directly involved in at least $ 450,000 in payments from Haidl to himself, Hoffman and Jaramillo.
credibility of witnesses is particularly important, Sun said, because no financial records to support allegations that Haidl bribed Carona, making this a "he said, she said "case.
"They're going to have to have porters to carry all the luggage in which they are bringing to the platform," said Sun.
Another friend of former Carona who helped prosecutors is attorney Joseph Cavallo. Cavallo once represented Haidl's son, Greg Haidl, in a trial of high-profile sexual assault. Carona defeated a wrongful death claim – involving the death of a deputy – Cavallo, prosecutors said. Cavallo is charged in the case.
Early in the proceedings, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Sagel characterized the probe as "the case of two Mike Carona."
Carona was known as a "man brilliant, charismatic went from losing candidate in 1998 with the Orange County sheriff,''Sagel said. The former commissioner, once the application highest ranking law officer in Orange County, controlled and managed 4,200 employees of an agency with a budget of 1500 million dollars, he added.
"He was, according to Larry King, the sheriff of the United States,''the prosecutor continued, as the jurors looked at a picture for Carona in his uniform of decoration.
But then there was Mike "Carona secret,''Sagel said.
A photo of Carona, Haidl and Jaramillo, all standing outside the private jet Haidl, flashed on a television screen not far from the jurors.
"" We to be so rich. Let's make lots of money, '"Sagel said." These are the secret words of Mike Carona, defendant Mike Carona. "
"The Carona, Jaramillo and Haidls became very close,''Sagel told jurors." They spent holidays together … (And discuss) constantly the money they make when they ran into the sheriff's department. "
Sagel played excerpts from secret recordings, including an exchange in which the Former sheriff used a racial epithet to refer to blacks. Carona also refers to the gifts, saying they are "completely impossible to find."
Carona's attorney, Brian Sun, painted the former sheriff as a good public servant who refused lucrative jobs in the private sector. It held that the prosecution alleged bribes,'' as the "exchange of gifts between friends."
"Mike Carona is going to be his last day in court,''he continued dom "His reputation is in tatters … has been humiliating for him to have his private life exposed and by people who have a vested interest."
Far from trying to "feather your nest," Carona tried to reimburse people for gifts, such as the World Series and Oscar De La Hoya boxing tickets, said Sun. No evidence of cash payments, Sun added.
Carona also avoid using their position to influence others, Sun said. For example, Sun said that Haidl turned to Jaramillo to help reach his son, Greg, tried as a juvenile because of a violation does not – Carona.
"Mike Carona is the victim of the worst kind of negative campaign ad that you can get, "said Sun.
Sun said the selective prosecution selected audio files, in particular racial epithet in Carona is repeating a phrase first used Haidl, to inflame the jurors.
