LATEST CORONA UPDATES:
In leaving to focus on his federal indictment, Carona fires his
assistant sheriff and leaves the choice of his successor in
question. VIDEO | DISCUSS
By Christine Hanley, Stuart Pfeifer and Christian Berthelsen, Los
Angeles Times Staff Writers
January 15, 2008
Orange County Sheriff Michael S. Carona's
announcement Monday that he was quitting his post to fight public
corruption charges left the state's second-largest sheriff's
department in upheaval.
As he departed, Carona took steps to leave his political imprint on
the department, firing one of his assistant sheriffs, Dan Martini,
without explanation, and appointing as interim sheriff one of his
biggest loyalists.
Acting Sheriff Jack Anderson
His choice of Assistant Sheriff Jack Anderson to run the department
immediately raised concerns in some quarters, because in addition to
being a strong Carona ally, Anderson is an official of the Orange
County Republican Party.
Supervisor John Moorlach questioned whether the appointment was even
valid. The Board of Supervisors intends to appoint a successor to
fill out the remaining three years of Carona's term, and already the
names of candidates -- some from the Carona faithful, others sharp
critics of the sheriff -- are being discussed. The board meets
today.
Carona said he resigned so he could concentrate on defending himself
against corruption charges and continue receiving free legal advice
from one of the nation's top law firms.
The decision, which marked a significant reversal of Carona's vow to
stay in office while he worked to clear his name, brought an end to
a once-promising political career.
Carona, who called the resignation "one of the most difficult
decisions I have ever made," stepped down a little more than two
months after federal prosecutors accused him of selling the power of
his office for tens of thousands of dollars in cash and gifts.
"The downside is once I go to trial and get found not guilty, I
can't get this job back," Carona said. "I need to have a top-notch
legal defense team, and these are some of the best of the best in
America. It's an incredible opportunity for me."
Carona's longtime political advisor and attorney, Michael Schroeder,
said Carona's resignation was in no way an indication that the
three-term sheriff intended to plead guilty and that "no new
evidence has popped up" to prompt him to step down. The sheriff, who
was charged along with his wife, Deborah, and alleged longtime
mistress, Debra Hoffman, is scheduled to stand trial in June. There
are no plea negotiations underway, Schroeder said.
"He's not going to accept a result other than the feds' dismissing
the charges," Schroeder said.
Carona's career had seen a second-generation American, the son of a
car mechanic, rise to national prominence as the leader of
California's second-largest sheriff's department. As photographs
outside his hallway attest, Carona has worked with three governors
and two presidents and has appeared as a guest on CNN's "Larry King
Live." Several years ago, he considered running for statewide
office, then perhaps a seat in Washington.
"It's the American dream, and I've had the chance to live it," a
somber Carona said during a brief discussion with The Times. "It's
very difficult. For 32 years, this has been what I've done. I've
been a peace officer in Orange County. . . . This is not the way I
planned on walking out of here, but this is the way I find myself
walking out."
Before federal prosecutors charged Carona with seven felonies in
October, there had been allegations of cronyism and sexual
harassment.
At the same time, Carona had proved himself a charismatic and
effective leader, promoting the Amber Alert system that, in
California, started in Orange County; installing drug abuse
treatment at county jails; and expanding one of the largest crime
labs and DNA centers in the nation.
The unraveling of Carona's career follows federal prosecutions of
two of his top assistants, former Undersheriff George Jaramillo and
Assistant Sheriff Donald Haidl. Both men, once Carona's biggest
allies, are expected to testify against Carona.
Although professing his innocence and confidence that he would clear
his name at trial, Carona said he had no choice but to resign in
order to obtain the best legal defense available.
At issue were the donated legal services of the Jones Day law firm
in Los Angeles. The state attorney general's office opened an
investigation into Carona's arrangement with Jones Day at the
request of Shirley L. Grindle, an Orange County political watchdog
who thought the arrangement violated state law.
Senior Assistant Atty. Gen. Gary W. Schons said his office had
informed Jones Day attorney Brian A. Sun that it had determined that
the free legal service constituted a gift and that Carona could
resign or arrange to pay for the legal services at a reasonable
rate.
With the estimated cost of the defense at $2 million, Carona chose
to resign and accept the help rather than stay in office and hire
cheaper attorneys or accept a public defender.
"He's a man of modest means," Schroeder said of Carona. He said the
legal bills Carona had amassed thus far already exceed his net
worth. Carona has several attorneys on his team, not all of whom are
working pro bono.
