I stumbled across O.C. Sheriff Mike Carona’s blog today and could not believe his gall. Here is how the Register described his latest embarrassment, “Orange County will now have limited access to important crime-fighting data because the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit (LEIU) does not trust crime information in the hands of Orange County’s sheriff.”
But here is what Carona’s blog had to say about his now infamous picture with mobster Rick Rizzolo, “Yes, the Sheriff had his picture taken with Rick Rizzolo. Yes, Rick Rizzolo attended the Sheriff
While I am nowhere close to a fan of Carona, the photo proves nothing. If this is from one of those somewhat-slimy fund-raising events (so very popular in political circles), it is at least possible the pose was entirely for the camera.
Bad taste perhaps, but not proof …
Preston,
Read the Register editorial that I linked to. There is a lot more to the story than the picture.
Preston,
Here is another excerpt, from the OC Weekly:
“The swank Ritz is owned by Vegas
Watch it Art. You don’t want to upset the Winships.
After all who can forget their incredibly itellectual quote on the subject:
“We love Sheriff Mike…..sticks
and stones…Sean!
Those without sin can cast the

are we to believe that orange county;s top cop does not know who are members of organized crime???
does that mean that the ocsd never paid any attention to the information gathered by the LIEU?
what else are they craning their necks at to look the other way? pot farm growers ? z.z., jr.
don’t personally like Corona, but could you find a more authentic picture and not this doctored photo.
It is so obvious!
the sheriff has not denied having his picture taken with rizzo. here is a paragraph from the the ocsd blog:
“Yes, the Sheriff had his picture taken with Rick Rizzolo. Yes, Rick Rizzolo attended the Sheriff
