Attorney languishes in jail

An attorney from Tarzana who fought to reduce the pay of Los Angeles County judges has now found himself at the mercy of one of those judges, who has jailed him for the last 38 days on contempt of court.Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

As the case drags on, legal experts and local attorneys say they've never heard of a lawyer jailed for so long on a contempt of court charge.

And they are amazed that Superior Court Judge David P. Yaffe has ordered former taxpayer advocate attorney Richard I. Fine, a 69-year-old Tarzana resident, jailed indefinitely.
