Not that he was a sheriff or a husband or anything else. Just that he committed crimes, was pardoned by the worst human in history, but that his crimes could not be erased. There could even be a picture of the tent prison.

Arpaio's trying shield himself from civil latigation arising from the same facts. SunSeeker Nov 2018 #29

Per the article, the ruling may be used against him in future litigation. SunSeeker Nov 2018 #28

Except there is no civil litigation. former9thward Nov 2018 #34

Wrong again. SunSeeker Nov 2018 #47

He has no pending civil case. former9thward Nov 2018 #60

You already admitted Arpaio has a pending civil case (the defamation case). SunSeeker Nov 2018 #61
