...

Rosen says three other people have already admitted to bribery involving concealed weapons permits. Two other bribery trials for Undersheriff Rick Sung and Capt. James Jensen will start in January.

Well shes fortunate to be a woman living in a gynocentric society. Crime studies using federal data show she will get a sentence/punishment only around 1/3 as severe as a man charged with the same offences.

And yet they are always yammering and demanding equal pay to men.

Yes, this is an example of a Leftist sympathetic TV station (KTVU 2 San Francisco) and Fox News writing a Publicity Positive Headline and Story for SF Bay Area Leftist Law Enforcement that was unearned and undeserved.

'No one is above the law' is NOT the status quo in the SF Bay Area.
