So, before all 10,000 pages are digested, let’s take a guess — is the guy running the joint responsible for the bungled sex crimes? Of course, we’re talking about the man who spent the weekened holding a publicity stunt with a chunky actor in the name of dead children.
Since the summary of the report doesn’t offer any real surprises, would you say that Arpaio’s responsible for the bungled sex-crime investigations at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office?
