Ex-Sheriff Carona Seeks Reduced Sentence

Mike Carona is asking a judge to shrink his 66-month sentence for witness tampering by more than half, the Orange County Register is reporting.

The former Orange County sheriff is in a federal prison near Littleton, Colo. His lawyers contend the original sentence was wrong and should be recalculated. If they’re successful, he could be released early in 2013.

Carona was indicted in 2007 and eventually convicted of trying to get Don Haidl, a former top aide, to lie for him during a corruption investigation.

I believe it is time we had representation that understands what it means to serve. Because, after…Read More all, isn't a House Member's job to serve the people of his/her district? And who understands service better than a former Marine Corps Colonel? I briefly met Colonel Raths yesterday and it is my belief that he is doing this for all the right reasons and will provide what has been missing in Congress for far too long---INTEGRITY, HONESTY, PATRIOTISM, SELFLESSNESS & SERVICE. And if I heard correctly, yesterday, he has already hired the best possible company, a company with an extremely innovative and intelligent leader, to run his campaign. This company will serve him well and when the facts come about about Greg Raths, the people of the 45th District will have the easiest choice at the polls in quite some time. This is the man who will do the right thing for his district 10 times out of 10. Go Greg! When you find out the amazingly wonderful things he has done for his country, there really is no choice. Colonel Greg Raths USMC Retired for Congress, 2014.
