BREAKING NEWS
The attorneys rebuke federal
prosecutors for releasing the
records of a secretly taped
conversation with Haidl and seek to
bar them from trial.
By Stuart Pfeifer and Christine
Hanley, Los Angeles Times Staff
Writers
February 16, 2008
Lawyers for former Orange County
Sheriff Michael S. Carona scolded
federal prosecutors Friday for
deciding last week to unveil partial
transcripts of a secretly recorded
conversation between the former
sheriff and a top aide.
In the conversation, prosecutors
allege, Carona and former Assistant
Sheriff Donald Haidl discussed
covering a trail of cash payments
and gifts that Haidl gave to him.
Unknown to Carona, Haidl was
secretly recording the conversation
for the prosecutors.
The transcripts are a key element in
the corruption case against Carona,
who is charged with selling access
to his office for tens of thousands
of dollars in cash and gifts.
The transcripts created widespread
publicity and may have tainted
potential jurors, defense lawyers
wrote in a filing Friday, in which
they argued that the recordings
should not be admitted as evidence.
"They obtained wide media play of
those excerpts and ensured that a
substantial portion of the jury pool
will be aware of Carona's alleged
statements, even if the court
ultimately suppresses them. The
prosecutors could have avoided the
taint, of course, by filing the
excerpts under seal," the attorneys
contend.
Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the
U.S. attorney's office, declined to
comment.
In the filing, Carona's lawyers
disclosed that there was more than
one person trying to record
conversations with the former
sheriff -- Haidl's sister, Peggy,
was at it as well.
She wore a hidden recording device
to a July event at which she and
Carona's wife, Deborah, were being
honored for their service on the
Orange County Fair board.
Peggy Haidl did not record anything
incriminating, the defense said.
The disclosure came as Carona's
attorneys pressed to exclude as
evidence the recordings that Donald
Haidl made during three meetings
with the former sheriff.
Attorneys say that because Carona
was represented by a lawyer at the
time, it was improper for federal
prosecutors to send anyone to meet
with him and secretly record their
conversations.
Ethical guidelines prohibit
California lawyers from contacting
parties represented by lawyers, even
through third persons.
Carona's lawyers say federal
prosecutors broke those rules by
sending Donald Haidl to meet with
Carona and should be barred from
presenting the recordings as
evidence.
"The prosecutors did not advise
Carona of his right to counsel; they
secretly contrived to separate
Carona from his counsel and to
interrogate him, through Haidl,
without his counsel present," Carona
lawyers asserted.
The defense motion portrayed
prosecutors and Haidl as frustrated
by efforts to get Carona to make
incriminating statements during the
recorded conversations. After the
third meeting and while he was still
being recorded, Haidl says it was
"like . . . pulling teeth, all the
way," according to the defense
motion.
Haidl had agreed to cooperate with
prosecutors after a plea
negotiation. He pleaded guilty to
tax evasion charges, and prosecutors
have agreed to inform the judge who
sentences him of his cooperation.
Another former Carona assistant,
George Jaramillo, has pleaded guilty
to tax evasion and fraud charges.
Defense lawyers say prosecutors
crossed ethical lines further by
providing Haidl with phony grand
jury subpoenas to use as a ruse in
questioning Carona. Arguments on the
motion are set for Feb. 29.
Federal prosecutors have asserted
that the recordings were proper and
lawful evidence-gathering, noting
that no appellate court has ever
thrown out such recordings from a
federal prosecution.
In October, a federal grand jury
indicted Carona; his wife, Deborah;
and his former mistress, Debra V.
Hoffman, in a broad public
conspiracy case that alleges that
the sheriff sold his office for
gifts and money. The former sheriff
is also charged with two counts of
witness-tampering for allegedly
trying to influence Haidl to
withhold evidence from the federal
grand jury.
Hoffman faces three additional
counts of bankruptcy fraud. Their
trial is scheduled for June 10.
Also Friday, prosecutors presented
U.S. District Judge Andrew J.
Guilford a list of proposed
questions for prospective jurors to
which both sides have agreed. They
focus on the panelists' backgrounds
and what, if anything, they might
know about the charges.
Attorneys will ask Guilford to
resolve objections about dozens of
other proposed questions. Among
those are several that Carona's
lawyers want to ask concerning
prospective jurors' feelings about
marital infidelity. The lawyers
appear to be concerned about how
jurors will react to evidence of
Carona's affair with Hoffman.
"A man who is unfaithful to his wife
probably engages in other
questionable behavior as well,"
reads one question proposed by the
defense that prosecutors want to
exclude from the jury questionnaire.
"In your opinion, should Hillary
Clinton have dumped Bill Clinton for
his marital infidelity?" reads
another.
Another proposed question, which
prosecutors oppose, could address
Carona's relationship with two of
his former assistant sheriffs, Haidl
and Jaramillo. "Which statement do
you agree with more: Birds of a
feather flock together, [or]
opposites attract?"
