Is James Roberts III Shielded From Justice?

Hey Moxley - here is a quote from a JUROR from the OC Register if you want to sink your slimy little teeth into this one...

Jason D Jones · Costa Mesa, California

Hello everyone! I was a juror on the trial. Like any other case appearing before the courts, there is evidence that the public is not aware of and reporters report what the public wants to hear. I agree with some of the comments but unless you hear the witnesses and the testimony, good luck on making a decisions. The decisions to plea-out early was in the best interests of the defendant but....... you should have hear the ex-wife's testimony. The final decision was fair.

what happened with this case?

Good thing you didn't negate any credibility you may have had by projecting an extremely judgmental attitude. "This guy at first glance appears to be an ass hole of the first magnitude." Really?

Do everyone a favor and take yourself out of the gene pool.

Can you say bitter ex-wife seeking revenge when she didn't get what she wanted out of the divorce. I know the couple and there are two sides to every story and then there is the TRUTH! No one was with them when all these things supposedly happened. If walls could talk we would know the truth... until then none of us should judge.

As presently scheduled, Roberts' criminal trial is set for April 20 in Judge William R. Froeberg's Santa Ana courtroom.

Sharoon don't be afraid fight until the end .we are with you.I know for what u going through my husband is an Lpd officer and my case is pretty much the same like yours.im still fighting for justice .DOMESTIC VIOLENCE .police have to forget about domestic. VIOLENCE IS VIOLENCE .AND VIOLENCE IS A CRIME. get it HBPD ,FPD and LBPD.

Sam Mohagen

Im samara mohagen im on the situaion where my husband is the battering cop.who do you call when the abuser is the police.? and fpd keep cover up all his false reports ,and don't want to relese anything to me but off course they gave him something call privacy courtesy.that's when ur husband as police officer try to kill you , he can hurt ou ,hit you destroy my property.but fpd doesn't know what to do .things are still scaleting every day .but if not body stop him. where i going to end .he ready cross the line with me and my 2 little girls.if someone rad this and can help me .

Gotta love all the lame F the police comments. How typical. Nothing like stereotyping the entire profession.

At face value, this case is very disturbing. I'd be curious to hear from HBPD why Roberts wasn't immediately suspended. The argument that he was just destroying his own property is pretty weak. No amount of rationalization can justify HBPD's approach to this case. Clearly this guy was out of control. The fact HBPD allowed this guy to remain on duty is disturbing. I'd love to hear HBPD's version of this but of course the city attorney will not let them comment.

Gotta love it when someone always takes the side of the police and never admits they may have done horribly wrong. Maybe so many people wouldn't say that if there weren't so many cases out there where the cop committed a crime and their fellow officers helped protect him, and the DA wasn't as aggressive in going after them as they were in going after their victims until he realized there was a videotape of the incident. We know most police are good men that don't approve of this stuff. I don't understand why the honorable cops on any local police force would help these losers. Is the Brotherhood of the Badge stronger then their sense of justice or are they subject to intimidation and fear of reprisal if they don't keep rank? We know some cities have more than their share of abusive cops that seem to take delight in crossing the line. And some cities seem to encourage a 'hard-ass' attitude from their officers. (cough, cough Huntington Beach?) Your job would be a lot easier and people would respect the badge more if you policed yourselves as hard as you police us.

Sam Mohagen

my husband did the same thing commited robbery and destroy paper relevant from my case i even had injury when i called fpd they say is community propety and he can break the t.v stoled my money in a fight pushing me when i just had a surgery and fpd did nothing about it he even did a parental child abduction according to 278.5 of california penal code book.and fpd refused to take my report cause they say this sargent had order from his supervisor if someone with my last name come don't take the report. and fpd told me they don't know what is the california penal code book. bs.fpd knew he can not be close to me cause the restrainent order but they let him just go and live wit his mom like 4 houses away from our house ,then my husband trasfer our marital house in his dad name do a false evition and put my 4 and 8 years old on the street without place to go.

Maybe the ACLU could help this woman out.

How about Legal Aid Society of Orange County?

Tough to prosecute cops thanks to their bloated unions and the people in our wonderful judicial system that want the world to believe cops do 'no wrong', as the cops themselves always tell us.

Chip Douglas

The ability of the ACLU to help in a case of this nature is greatly over estimated. There are many excellent civil lawyers and law firms that specialize in litigation in police misconduct cases.

The union has nothing to do with this case. Roberts was acting way outside the scope of his duties so I would hope his union is not paying for his attorney. I'm sure Robert's fellow union members would be outraged if the union paid. I'd think there would be a recall of the board of directors. The union certainly did not keep Roberts from being prosecuted. Most of this union bashing is ignorance. Unions are concerned with wages and working conditions, not covering for criminal behavior. The fact Rovers was charged with so many crimes shows the unions lack of influence.

Greg Diamond

So many people want to shove business onto the ACLU, but so few donate to give them the ability to do it. Legal Aid is also, by design, swamped.

What does this guy's union have to do with it. Is domestic violence now part of the job description? His being a cop is legally irrelevant and while many argue that cops do no wrong on the job few claim that cops can do no wrong in their own time.

Sam Mohagen

Im a wife of long beach police officer .his name is randy mohagen.I was abused for long time ,this occcur behind close doors and gets NOT attention,cause police they don't beat their boss from being late.they know how manipuled the system they had contacts with the d.a and fbi,my case is too complicate, because allmy husband family are sargents,and luthenans,and his sister use to work for fpd which cover up all his crimes i was under survillage cameras at my formely resident which my husband place recording device on the telephones without my knowledge and during a restrainent order .fpd provide him with the key from my house and he came at anytime ,at the court day he brought his body from fpd and from brea to intimitade me and i had to take away my restreaning order 2 times the courts and the police departments left the wife behind if not permanent injury it is reflect is better to dropp the curtains shutt up the public gates and leave the guardian to forget the forgit.for fpd and Lpd .they all cover themselves with what is call proffetional courtesy. in my case several lawyers refused to take my case because the fact he is a police officer .until now im still just a civil court where my husband did 4 reagssiment judges in order to gain child custody .

Corrupt Criminal Cops deserve DOUBLE the Prison Sentence that an ordinary Citizen would receive for the same crimes !!

Criminal Cops = Scum!

Greg Diamond

"She said multiple lawyers have declined to represent her."

That could be because her case (and/or credibility) is weaker than this article suggests, or because they think it will cost too much given the adversary, or because they're afraid of taking on the HBPD, or various other reasons. There are a lot of lawyers in Orange County, though, and more in LA County, and the charges of a battered women are not generally unsympathetic. How many lawyers has she talked to? That's sort of a strange place for the article to end.

There are lots of political groups who would love to tout a credible case along these lines. This is the sort of cause off of which a group can fundraise -- if it is a credible case.
