The CA AG makes this remark while the State is defending itself in this suit: Comment from a poster on Free Republic - For the record here is what Lockyer has done. From the 4/15 San Francisco Chronicle. Eddie Dillard, a prisoner at California's Corcoran State Prison, knew what was in store the instant he heard who his new cellmate was to be: Wayne Robertson, a 230-pound sexual predator. Two years earlier, the men had fought after Dillard rejected Robertson's sexual advances. And Dillard, a 120-pound inmate serving time for assault, had been worried enough about future encounters to put Robertson's name on a list of known enemies with whom he should not share a cell. But on March 5, 1993, Dillard was moved into Robertson's cell. The next day, Dillard was raped. Robertson, who is serving life without parole for murder, testified that he sodomized Dillard "all night long." And the legal standards for prisons' liability create a perverse incentive for guards to ignore the problem. Generally, prison officials can only be held liable for an assault if they had actual knowledge of a substantial risk to a prisoner and ignored it. The Dillard case -- first in criminal court and now in civil court -- is one of the few to come to public attention. Dillard's court papers charge that prison guards set up the rape, transferring him into the cell of Robertson, known as "The Booty Bandit," to punish him for kicking another guard. [end] Now you tell me that Lockyer's comments will not be used against the state in this and future actions against the Department of Corrections.

Mike, I worked with a company for several years. I worked in the advanced programs group and I had a no red tape and very little hassles fun job. But I also had had to deal the the operations side of the company that made products and purchased goods. I told my co workers and my management that my take on the company policies was such, that I would never sell anything to the company. I went back and read the article and I see this a clear case of State Attorney General Bill Lockyer having the opportunity to investigation of alleged multibillion-dollar price gouging by power generators for years by candle light. In America, that is the eventual lot of a fascist. Buy wax futures. tom watson tosiwmee
