He said he was innocent , by accepting the pardon he is admitting guilt.
Clubber's hero.
This sort of reads like fake news from a lefty rag. Any sources and/or case document links?
October 2007, Maricopa County sheriff's deputies arrested Lacey and Larkin on charges of revealing secret grand jury information concerning the investigations of the New Times's long-running feud with Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio. In July 2004, the New Timespublished Arpaio's home address in the context of a story about his real estate dealings, which the County Attorney's office was investigating as a possible crime under Arizona state law. A special prosecutor served Village Voice Media with a subpoena ordering it to produce "all documents" related to the original real estate article, as well as "all Internet web site traffic information" to a number of articles that mentioned Arpaio. The prosecutor further ordered Village Voice Media to produce the IP addresses of all visitors to the Phoenix New Times website since January 1, 2004, as well as which websites those readers had been to prior to visiting. As an act of "civil disobedience",[3] Lacey and Larkin published the contents of the subpoena on or about October 18, which resulted in their arrests the same day.[4] On the following day, the county attorney dropped the case after declining to pursue charges against the two.[5]
The special prosecutor's subpoena included a demand for the names of all people who had read the Arpaio story on the newspaper's website. It was the revealing of the subpoena information by the New Times which led to the arrests.[6] Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas dropped the charges less than 24 hours after the two were arrested.[7]
In the weeks following the arrests, members of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, of which the Phoenix New Times is a member, provided links on their websites to places where Arpaio's address could be found.[8] This was done to show solidarity with the Phoenix New Times.
In February 2008, the paper filed a formal notice of claim, which is required by Arizona law before suing government officials.[9][10]
In December 2013, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay Phoenix New Times founders Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin $3.75 million to settle their false arrest lawsuit against the county defendants. [11]
It seems movie worthy, no time to check for a few days as I must travel back to Europe.
Seems a lot of parallel reports. Of course how the Sheriff escaped legal blowback is a curiosity.. but as a tourist I was nearly arrested for parking on the wrong side of the road in Louisiana by a very fat cop so I tend to think American cops can be unreasonable.

Jurors vote for acquittal after the defense argues the case involved entrapment and a publicity stunt.
By CAROL SOWERS
The Arizona Republic
After five weeks of testimony, a jury yesterday acquitted a Phoenix man of trying to blow up Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
James Saville, 22, who spent four years in jail, dropped his head when the jury announced he was innocent of conspiring to commit first-degree murder and innocent of misconduct involving weapons.
His sister, Linda Saville, 24, sobbed as the verdict was read.
“After what has happened, this has really restored my faith in the justice system,” she said.
Jurors, who began deliberating Thursday, were persuaded by defense arguments that Saville was entrapped by the Sheriff’s Office as part of a publicity stunt by Arpaio.
Ulisses Ferragut, Saville’s lawyer, said after the verdict that jurors told him the entrapment resulted from “overzealousness by the Sheriff’s Office.”
He said the next step is a civil suit against the Sheriff’s Office.
“They have been holding him for four years,” Ferragut said. “They knew what they did to that boy was wrong.”
Sheriff’s Sgt. Wayne Scoville was the star witness for the defense.
In earlier interviews, he said Saville was the victim of an entrapment scheme started by a prison snitch in 1999.
The informer, Saville’s prison mate, told him that he would get cars and money if he agreed to meet a mobster and build a bomb to kill Arpaio. If he refused, the snitch said Saville’s family would be in danger. At the time, Saville was completing an 18-month sentence for inciting a race riot and attempting to blow up Maryvale High School.
The defense said the snitch concocted the scheme to gain favor and get out of prison.
When Saville left prison on July 8, 1999, an undercover detective helped him make the bomb and took him to the sheriff’s car in a restaurant parking lot, where Saville was arrested in front of the media.
Sheriff’s officials denied Saville was entrapped.
Obama paid a hacker for his degree, no? I remember those days when there was no security and hackers only needed to know a url and they had free reign. The going rate for a degree was $5000 or at least that was the offer I got. Nobody at his school remembers seeing him in classes. Obama's half brother produced a Kenya birth certificate. So stop calling people "birthers".
How so?He said he was innocent , by accepting the pardon he is admitting guilt.

What's wrong with identifying criminals with criminals? If you look a criminal, you could be a criminal. If you do not want to be identified as a criminals, don't look like one, don't dress like one, don't hangout with criminals, don't act like one, don't be a be a criminal. Libtards don't get it.
