This case was big in a bay area a few years ago. If you or someone you know is facing divorce watch your back. Do not drive home after picking up women in bars and watch where you have sensitive conversations.

Quote:

A veteran East Bay divorce lawyer who admitted planting a listening device in the car of a client's ex-husband was sentenced to two years in federal prison Monday for tax evasion and illegal eavesdropping.

The man she hired to entrap men into DUIs is serving 8 years:

Quote:

He admitted hiring women to approach men at bars, drink with them and set them up for drunken-driving arrests that their wives could use against them in divorce cases. Two of the men whose wives were represented by Nolan have sued her, Butler and others for damages. Butler is serving an eight-year prison sentence, and officers from four Bay Area police agencies have also been convicted.

Sentencing guidelines recommended 33-36 month. Judge gave her 24 months because:

Quote:

Nolan declined to make a statement. Federal sentencing guidelines recommended a sentence of 30 to 37 months, and prosecutors sought 33 months, but Breyer said Nolan's difficult background and commendations from numerous clients justified a lesser term. He ordered her to perform 240 hours of community service in the three years after her release.

How many men get compassion for having a 'difficult background' and no shit her clients loved her - she got their ex-husbands arrested!

TL;DR: Female divorce lawyer hired a male PI to setup her clients ex-husbands on DUI charges. He did this by hiring women to hit on the men in bars and then convince them to follow them back to their place. He then phoned his buddies on the local police force and had them pull the guy over. The PI is serving 8 years, she just got sentenced to 2.

Its the pussy pass.

The Lawyer is a cunt. 62 years old. Probably jelly her pussy was getting smelly.

The OTHER asshole, the PI, is the lowest of the low. This guy facilitated other men's downfall by setting them up with some bar slut and apparently that is enough for their even bigger cunt ex wives to strip them bare.

May this fucked up legal couple get fucked in the ass just as hard as they did to these men.

If the PI and lawyer are going to prison for this, shouldn't the police as well? They were obviously accomplices.

Although the PI is s piece of shit, how can they justify 8 years for him, and only two for her?

Fucking ridiculous. All of those DUIs should be overturned and the police should do time.

And since this bullshit happened on some chief, or captains watch, they need to take some punishment as well.

According to the article, the police officers involved have been convicted, although it did not say what their sentences were.

American police in certain cities watch certain venues at certain times when they know people are likely to be drunk and do what they need to in order to get convictions. If you end up as a defendant in one of these cases you really don't have any kind of entrapment defense even though they utilized unethical tactics to pull you over. You obviously "have a problem" and get treated as a hardcore alcoholic by the criminal justice system regardless of the circumstances surrounding your arrest.

That isn't the same thing though, I don't think. Wasn't the PI calling the police to inform them? And the police KNEW what the PI was doing was illegal, but they still helped him anyways? If the police knowingly helped someone in his plot, which he ended up getting 8 years in prison for, I don't see they can't also be held accountable. At the very least they are guilty of not reporting a crime, right?

They should also check to see if these cops were getting kickbacks for partaking in this shady shit.

The cop was also convicted in September but I can't find his sentence anywhere - maybe they haven't done it yet.

Here are the 'hardships' she suffered that lead to the reduced sentence:

Quote:

A doctor for Nolan said in court documents she suffered from chronic post-traumatic stress disorder due to losing her grandparents at a young age and her parents while in college. She spent much of her adult life "sabotaging" her relationships often by having an affair, her attorney Ted Cassman wrote.

According to court records, Nolan sold her house to pay her tax debt.

"The forced sale of Ms. Nolan's home and her resignation from the Bar were difficult pills to swallow. She loved them both very much," Cassman wrote. "Her career and life are in tatters."

A positive aspect of this case came out of an appellate court decision

Quote:

The First District Court of Appeal didn’t buy either argument.

“A scheme to have an opposing party arrested for a crime is not a legitimate litigation activity,” Justice Maria Rivera said in last week’s 3-0 ruling. Likewise, she said, Declan Woods isn’t suing his ex-wife, her lawyer and their investigators for what they said but for what they did.

“There is no constitutionally protected right to gain an advantage in a judicial proceeding based upon extrinsic tortious conduct,” Rivera said — that is, by out-of-court actions that violate the rights of the same person you’re fighting in court.

I wonder if that'll open the doors to sue women who make false child molestation or domestic violence claims against their husbands.
