RICHARD FINE REACTS TO JUDGE'S LEGAL CONSULT

The video news report provides an inside glimpse as to what is going on in the closed chambers of the L.A. Superior Court. Richard Fine by telephone from his jail cell provides an explanation of the motivation and legal questions raised when Judge Yaffe consulted with the Court's legal counsel Frederick J. Bennett who was a former Deputy L.A. County Counsel at the time the County started giving illegal payments to the State Judges in 1987 or 1988.  Judge Yaffe, and all State judges, received illegal payments from the County and have not disclosed this fact to litigants such as in the case (BS109420) Marina Strand Colony Homeowners Assn. vs County of Los Angeles).  Following Richard Fine's attempt to disqualify the Judge, Yaffe held him in civil contempt of court indefinitely, without bail, a release date or a charge.  He has been in Central Men's Jail over one year since March 4, 2010.
