Sell crack and lie

When we last looked into San Francisco's infamous "sell crack or die'' case, Rigoberto Valle had been convicted and appeared to have a ticket for deportation without serving any more time behind bars, thanks to a judge who sympathized with the Honduran immigrant's tale of being victimized by human traffickers.

Valle, 23, had indeed spun quite a tale from the stand in September, recounting a harrowing journey by rail from Honduras and by foot across the desert into the United States.

Valle said he had been forced on pain of death to sell crack on the streets of San Francisco to pay off his human-trafficking debt. He was caught after five minutes his first day on the job, he said. The jury didn't buy it and convicted him of felony drug-dealing charges.

Judge Teri Jackson, however, seemed convinced that Valle was indeed a victim of human trafficking, and indicated she would sentence him to time served and probation. At that point, the feds would take over and start deportation proceedings.

However, things have changed a bit since then. It turns out Valle has been arrested numerous times in the United States dating back several years, and had been deported at least five times before being arrested in San Francisco.

Lying illegal alien felons, and the judges that love them.

Sorry, you can't see them.

You see the Judge is a member of the protected class.
