You are just making it up because you were called on it. The court provided a remedy to settle the case so of course it monitors the remedy. Arpaio has nothing to do with it. The only way the case could get opened again would be if the post-Arpaio administration in the Sheriff's office violated the remedy.

This is false. A pardon can be used to correct an incorrect guilty verdict, e.g., dna evidence. unblock Nov 2018 #44

What baggage? former9thward Nov 2018 #20

Yes - I probably have some of that too. But why does he want to clear his? erronis Nov 2018 #21

Arpaio's trying shield himself from civil latigation arising from the same facts. SunSeeker Nov 2018 #29

Per the article, the ruling may be used against him in future litigation. SunSeeker Nov 2018 #28

There is no civil litigation against Arpaio. former9thward Nov 2018 #43

Wrong again. SunSeeker Nov 2018 #47

The case is not dismissed. The court maintains jurisdiction for monitoring. SunSeeker Nov 2018 #59

He has no pending civil case. former9thward Nov 2018 #60

You already admitted Arpaio has a pending civil case (the defamation case). SunSeeker Nov 2018 #61
