'Informant' once took plea bargain
The federal agent suspected of leaking confidential information used to attack Bill Ritter's plea bargains for illegal immigrants once received a plea deal himself after punching and kicking a man unconscious at a Christmas party.
This is the law-breaker (it appears) whom Beauprez calls a 'hero' for leaking confidential info so Beauprez could attack Ritter for being weak on crime since he accepted plea-bargains ... less than most Republican DA's...
Info from a confidential Federal database which Beauprez claimed he'd never heard about ... but which it turns out he'd co-authored legislation to protect ...
Double. Standard. Hypocrites.
ACtually, the story about Voorhis (remember, this is all about Ritter's supposedly soft stance on immigrants) has its own harmonic threads which will surely be unravelled in coming days;
At a 1996 holiday party in Broomfield, Voorhis was accused of punching Charles Anthony Martinez in the head from behind, knocking him into a wall. As Martinez lay on the ground unconscious, Voorhis allegedly kicked him in the head, then walked away, according to a report by Adams County sheriff's deputies.
Martinez, who was then a 43-year-old backhoe operator, told deputies there had been unspecified bad blood between him and Voorhis for several years.
Two witnesses told investigators they saw Martinez slam into the wall and then his head hit the floor "very hard" before a 6-foot man with brown hair kicked the "knocked out" victim in the head, the report stated.
Voorhis was charged with third- degree assault and disorderly conduct, but in April 1997 he pleaded guilty to the petty offense of disorderly conduct and the assault charge was thrown out. He paid a $168 fine with no jail time.
Voorhis was a federal agent at the time of the attack, but the sheriff's report left his occupation blank and he gave a Henderson body shop as his employer's address. The shop owner, Randy McLain, said Voorhis was a friend and would sometimes help out.
This state does have its share of hard-core, Limbaugh-listening tin-foilers with fingers in their ears trying to drown out the pesky facts ... but not that many...
