GUILTY: Judge rules in former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's criminal contempt case
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Monday found former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio guilty of criminal contempt of court, the culmination of a federal trial that was years in the making.
"I am disappointed in the decision but I am not discouraged," Arpaio told our Donna Rossi not long after the verdict was announced. "We have appeals in the works so we will see where this goes. I was very confident during the trial that I would have been exonerated. My deputies and I were just doing our job."
Arpaio's lawyer confirmed the plans to appeal, saying the goal is to get a jury trial.
