"On April 17, 2009, the Orange County Board of Supervisors agreed to pay $3.75 million, plus an additional $900,000 in medical expenses to an illegal alien who was severely beaten by other inmates in the Orange County Central Jail. The Mexican national filed a lawsuit shortly after the incident.
Fernando Ramirez, 24, was in jail after being charged with molesting a 6-year-old girl at a local park. He eventually pled guilty to the lesser charge of battery against a child."
Just thought you all might like to read this story.
Even in California? Good god, that state needs to just disappear.
It's well known that inmates condones anyone who was convicted of harming children.

Despite the dire financial crisis facing Orange County, Ramirez received the largest settlement ever awarded by the county for an in-custody incident. The Board of Supervisors made their decision in a closed-door session and have refused any comment on the matter.
Oh, the irony.

This story has yet to be covered by the main stream media.
I'm shocked and appalled. I expect better from the big three. Oh, wait...hahaha.
"Ramirez's family was not told of the attack, a violation of a Sheriff's Department policy that requires notification of life-threatening injuries. Department spokesman Jim Amormino said jail supervisors might not have realized the extent of Ramirez's injuries.
The family learned that Ramirez was hospitalized when they made inquiries after attending two court dates in which he failed to appear. On June 9, the Sheriff's Department told them he was being held in a hospital jail ward, Narbey Ramirez said. The family made repeated trips to the hospital but were turned away by deputies until they obtained a court order on June 23 and were allowed to visit Ramirez for 15 minutes, Narbey Ramirez said.
Amormino said a jail supervisor had approved family visitation rights from the start of Ramirez's hospitalization and that he did not know why deputies didn't carry that order out.
Narbey Ramirez said her brother was in bad shape. "It was like he was a corpse," she said. The whites of his eyes had turned purple, and he was bruised from head to toe. He had a broken arm. The doctors said he had suffered damage to his brain stem, she said."
Oh, and Patricia Bates, the Supervisor of the Orange County Board of Supervisors (the entity that made this award) is a Republican.
