I checked the cas search and foud out they did come down hard on Deputy Goff he was tried on O8/14/2008 for 2nd degree assault, and driving while impaired. He recieved PBJ for both sentences and was sentenced to 10 days for the Assault and 30 days for the DWI, all but 2 days was suspended from both sentences. He was released from his PBJ 12/31/2008. No fines. he served 2 days in jail, and had his record cleared
4 months later.
Recap
2 days Jail
$0.00 Fines
4 month's probation
record expunged
He's got you Clem. Goff served as much time as the drug dealer in the school zone.
Footnote; Goff's victim filed a lawsuit that was dismissed 12/29/2009
Now thats what you call justice St. Mary's style.
LEO's don't want people to know how much weight the SA carries with the
Judges at trials. If Fritz and the Judges didn't normally work togeather. Fritz would react to everycase he loses like he did in the Mattingly affair.
Take em to trial put it in the paper- no ones the wiser as to what really happened.
It's got to drive the arresting officers crazy most of the time because I think most of them really are trying to do the right thing and get criminals off the street, and they see them constantly released with little or no punishment for their crimes. Goff got treated just like a drug dealer in St Mary's.
