There is no evidence that defendant needs to be incarcerated to deter him from future similar criminal conduct. Defendant's primary adult employment was as a peace officer. One result of this conviction is defendant is precluded from ever again being a peace officer in California. The high profile that resulted from the events surrounding the crime as well as the news focus that the conviction will create will make it difficult for defendant to find employment at any professional level. The remarks of defendant as reported by his counsel indicate remorse.
Defendant presents no danger to others.
It would appear that defendant is an appropriate candidate for probation. Defendant took advantage of a position of trust. The defendant has voluntarily acknowledged wrong doing at an early stage of the criminal process. Sorry, we're unable to assist non-members.
