Trump Pardons America's Worst Lawman In pardoning Arpaio, Trump has given a free pass to an unrepentant and habitual abuser of power, a man with insufficient regard for the Constitution he swore to uphold or the separation of powers it enshrines. The move should come as no surprise. The two are kindred spirits. Jeff Sessions Should Be Screaming Bloody Murder About Joe Arpaio Pardon Arpaio is not facing six months behind bars for "enforcing the law" or "working to keep people safe," any more than drug dealers are sentenced to prison for "making people happy." Arpaio disregarded a judge's order and was convicted of felony contempt of court. He did the crime, by his own logic and that of the U.S. Attorney General, and he should now do some time.
Judge G. Murray Snow referred Joe Arpaio to Judge Susan Bolton where he faced a misdemeanor six months maximum incarceration. Judge Bolton held a bench trial (without jury) over the objection of Joe Arpaio. Arpaio appealed the holding of a bench trial to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Arpaio appeal was pending at the time of the Trump pardon. His sentencing had been set for October 5th. Arpaio Petition to SCOTUS of May 24, 2017 Did the district court err in denying Petitioner’s request for a jury trial? Is Petitioner entitled to mandamus relief on his claim that the District Court wrongly deprived him of the right to a jury trial? - - - - - - - - - - Perhaps you may think of it as judge nullification. The judge imposed a bench trial with no jury for a misdemeanor charge.
