12-09-29 Dispatch de Barcelona: Spanish banks are insolvent, massive suspension of convictions in Catalonia a midst growing calls for reform of the judiciary! Meanwhile in Los Angeles, California...

Barcelona, September 29 - Outside audit concluded that the Spanish banks are insolvent and Spain will request a massive bailout from the European Union.  As noted before, Catalonia objects to the bailout.

The newspapers continue a story, which is apparently going on since 2011, where large number of criminal convictions (close to 20,000) are being suspended a midst growing calls for reform of the judiciary.

Key figure in the LA-JR (Los Angeles Judiciary Racket). c. Rafael Perez, one time undercover narcotic officer, good friend of Jacquline Connor, later - plea bargainer, who provided key evidence of the corruption.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles County, California...
The massive suspension of criminal convictions in Catalonia should be compared to conditions in Los Angeles County, California. Successive government commissions concluded in the aftermath of the Rampart Scandal (1998-2000) "innocent people remain in prison".  The number of the Rampart-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons), all derived from investigation of ONE police station (the LAPD, which investigated its own corruption, refused to expand the investigation, although the evidence showed that the same practices were common in various other stations), is estimated at 10,000-20,000.  They were typically sentenced for long prison terms, based on framed evidence of drug dealing.

The 2006 Blue Ribbon Review Panel report "Rampart reconsidered", also investigated the reasons for the failure to release the innocent, and indicated that it was largely because of objection of the judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which were quoted saying that such actions would cause "collapse of the justice system".

The corruption in Los Angeles County, California, is of course not limited to the LAPD, but includes the District Attorney office, and primarily the Los Angeles Superior Court itself.

Any reasonable person, reviewing the case as a whole would also conclude that the case provided evidence of massive corruption of the US Central District of California, including the US Attorney office and the US District Court.
