A new tally released earlier this month lists criminal cases against 55 Orange County defendants that were tainted as a result of official misconduct uncovered in the trial against the county's deadliest mass shooter, Scott Dekraai, who gunned down eight people at a Seal Beach salon in 2011. Rackauckas, who is now in private practice, did not immediately return a voicemail left on his cell phone asking for comment.said jailhouse informants are a common feature of the U.S. criminal justice system. But the way the system works, and its abuses, are often kept quiet.
The DOJ said it was"critical" for Orange County to form an independent commission to review past prosecutions involving jailhouse informants in order to root out constitutional violations. "If you're sitting in state prison, you're going to probably know about it, you're going to hear about it," Sanders said about early news of the snitch scandal."People would write in. People would say, 'Hey, I want to have my case addressed.' All sorts of things like that."
Judge Ebrahim Baytieh, who has been accused of misconduct while a prosecutor in the O.C. District Attorney's office, now runs Orange County's CARE Court, a court-mandated mental health treatment program.In some of the cases revisited because of alleged misconduct, O.C. sheriff's deputies refused to testify about their use of informants in order to protect themselves from self-incrimination.

The National Registry of Exonerations includes nine people in L.A. County whose ultimate finding of innocence was at least partially due to official misconduct and the use of a jailhouse informant. "Our office has encouraged and allowed me and others to do this work now for nearly a decade," Sanders said."We're going into the second decade here. … And even with that, it's going to be difficult for all of the cases to get addressed in the way they should.", said the O.C.
"In effect, the informant market is the sort of under-the-table, black market version of our general plea bargaining system, which says we negotiate all cases, we negotiate all guilt," Natapoff said."We almost never litigate the facts anymore." "The criminal system itself does not divulge these facts," Natapoff said, referring to the big informant scandals of recent decades."It was advocates, it was the innocence movement, it was journalism starting to chip away at the culture of secrecy."Jill Replogle wants to know what you wished you knew more about in OC and what’s important to you that’s not getting enough attention.
