#CalTrain deputy director Joseph Vincent Navarro found #guilty of misappropriation of $40k in public funds for conspiring with contractor during pandemic era and converting #Burlingame train station office into secret personal residential getaway with private gym.

Navarro, who now lives in Pennsylvania and previously told the #MercuryNews that his criminal charge was “overstated” and that he did nothing wrong. His co-conspirator #contractor had built himself similar living quarters inside the #Millbrae Cal #trainstation and plead #guilty, turning States #evidence against Navarro.

Navarro , whose attorneys claimed it was not a #secret , that he had given the key to his secretary, allowed his girlfriend to stay there, and the conversion was done with knowledge of his supervisor, still faces sentencing under judge's discretion which could range from actual #prison time, to more likely #probation.

The bicycle education program at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center was founded by Bicycling Monterey in April 2012 and still rolls on in April 2025!

The bike tech class series—providing bicycle repair and maintenance instruction—is only possible because of two volunteers who stepped up in 2012 and still continue volunteering on this 13th anniversary: Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez.

#RandiRhodes made an interesting point last Tuesday:

#SteveBannon admitted to #ABC's #JonKarl that he "keeps in frequent contact with T****."

"One of the rules of T****'s conviction/probation (as a #ConvictedFelon himself) is that he can not associate with other convicted felons… which #Bannon is, having just reported for prison on Monday."

This is an automatic violation of his #Probation and T**** should be thrown in jail. But once again, the law does not apply to Donald T****. #AboveTheLaw

Continued thread

In NY State, after a person is #convicted of a #felony or serious misdemeanor, a #probation officer must prepare a pre-sentence report, which the judge uses to help determine the defendant’s #punishment.

In some instances, the defendant can also be interviewed by a #SocialWorker or #psychologist working for the Probation Dept. Such reports also include a defendant’s #criminal history…& the probation officer often interviews the arresting officer…& the defendant’s family members & friends.

Continued thread

One of his lawyers, Todd #Blanche, will be present for the interview.

It is unusual for a lawyer to be present for a #Probation Dept interview, acc/to current & fmr agency officials & several defense lawyers w/experience dealing w/the agency. And since the coronavirus pandemic has waned, virtual interviews have become far less common.

But Justice Juan M. #Merchan, who presided over Trump’s #criminal trial & will hand down his sentence, signed off on the arrangement.

#Trump, who was #convicted last month on 34 #felony counts of #FalsifyingBusinessRecords, is expected to have a virtual interview w/a NYC #Probation Dept ofcl on Mon.

The interview is required as the agency prepares a #sentencing recommendation for the judge in the case.

Trump will be in his home at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, FL, for the virtual meeting — his 1st w/a probation ofcl.

#BrianPritchard had been sentenced in 1996 in #Pennsylvania to 3 years’ probation for #felony check #forgery charges. His #probation was REVOKED THREE TIMES — once in 1999, after he moved to #Georgia, & again in 2002 & 2004. In 2004, a judge imposed a new 7-year probationary sentence on Pritchard, thus making him #ineligible to vote until at least 2011 in Georgia, where state #law prohibits #felons from voting.

#Powell was #sentenced to 6yrs #probation & will be left w/o a #criminal record if she complies w/all aspects of the agreement, Judge #McAfee indicated. She also must write an #apology letter to #Georgia citizens.

McAfee told Powell the #PleaDeal requires her to take the #witness stand against co-defendants if requested.

“You’re to testify TRUTHFULLY against any & all co-defendants in this matter at any upcoming proceedings,” the judge told Powell.

#ScottHall becomes first #Trump co-defendant to plead guilty

As part of the plea deal, he will receive 5 years #probation, perform 200 hours of community service, will testify in further proceedings and ordered to write a letter of apology to the people of #Georgia. He is also forbidden from participating in #polling activities.
