A former Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was sentenced
Monday to eight years in federal prison for supervising the backroom beating of
a jail visitor who fellow guards testified was handcuffed on the ground and
covered in blood.
U.S. District Judge George King ordered former Sgt. Eric
Gonzalez taken into custody immediately.
Gonzalez, a 15-year veteran of the Sheriff's Department, was
found guilty of deprivation of civil rights, conspiracy to violate
constitutional rights and falsification of records in the 2011 beating of
Gabriel Carrillo. Four other deputies have been convicted in the case and await
sentencing, while a fifth was indicted in the case last month. Nigeria take a clue.
