Senior investigator Rick Gore of the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office fired off a letter to Jeff Reisig dated March 5, 2008. In that letter, a seven page long memo, he copied the Yolo County Counsel, Yolo County Human Resources, the State Bar of California and the Attorney General of California.
The implications of this letter run deep, if proven to be true. They reach into the controversial gang injunction, the District Attorney Election against Pat Lenzi, efforts to conceal potentially exculpatory evidence, much more.
He writes:
“Since your election as District Attorney of the county, we have had a few major disagreements concerning what I think are ethical and appropriate behavior compared to your beliefs.”
Mr. Gore criticized a number of campaign tactics by Jeff Reisig.
“I did not agree with what I perceived as unethical campaign practices during your campaign.”
He refused to write a disparaging letter to the editor as some of his colleagues did, and was ostracized in an inappropriate manner by his colleague.
He goes on:
“However, these bullying techniques did work on many and you got many people to write these personal character attacks against her. We had many closed-door discussions about your campaign in your office doing working hours. I remember saying hi to DDA Lenzi in the hallway and you later called me a traitor and told me I was scared of her. You met with our association and secretly forced our support for you, by using the implied coercion that our boss, Dave Henderson, was going to support you, so we had better support you. You told me the first thing you were going to do when elected was to reassign Supervisor Greg Maursin to welfare since he was being a “pussy” and refused to support you. You made good on this threat and reassigned him to welfare fraud investigations as soon as you were elected. On one occasion, in the middle of the workday, I caught Bruce Naliboff searching DDA Lenzi’s locked desk during the election. He told me he was looking for a case file, but we investigators all know attorneys keep case files on their desk, as she did, not in her desk drawers. I thought all of these tactics were inappropriate and told you so.”
Rick Gore further outlines efforts to conceal discoverable evidence during a murder trial.
“One major disagreement you and I had was when you tried to hide and conceal discoverable evidence about a material witness and refused to discover evidence during an on-going murder trial.”
He continues:
“Bruce Naliboff told me, in front of you, to “put a muzzle” on Randy Skaggs for talking about this discovery issue. You and I had extensive email discussion about this. Lt. Skaggs was in the office when Dave Henderson had to order you to comply with the law and therefore discover the evidence. I am sure the date of the gun test and the date of discovery of the report will show the long delay in providing this evidence, shooting and gun test, to the defense.”
He then goes on to strongly criticize Jeff Reisig for his conduct with the gang injunction, something that Mr. Gore was initially involved in and in fact supported.
“As for the current and past Gang Injunction, when gathering intelligence, contacting active members and working with Detective Villanueva, I fully supported these efforts. However, after seeing this become your political benchmark, I have watched this injunction grow into something I did not want to be associated with or a part of, since I felt it had lost its original intent and purpose.”
He admits efforts to mislead the appellate court with regard to initial efforts at noticing a single individual who was not high up in the Broderick Boys organization.
“I also feel you misled the appellate court when you argued, as an officer of the court, that serving only one person during the initial injunction was intended to result in the word getting out to the rest of the Broderick Boys. You and I know that the opposite was true and Wolfington was not high up in the organization and was not expected to pass the word to the others.”
He also reveals reasons why they selected Mr. Wolfington to notice.
“I remember you telling me that you specifically selected Mr. Wolfington for being a less than “smart person”, you said he was “too stupid” to show up for court, he lived out of the area (in Sacramento) and he would likely not tell anyone.”
Rick Gore no longer agrees with the current gang injunction nor does he think it is needed. However, “an affidavit in support of the injunction under penalty of perjury. I did not want to sign it as written since it was not prepared by me and I thought portions of my affidavit were untrue.” He signed an affidavit of support for the second gang injunction that is currently in the process of being challenged.
He continues:
“I was called in by DDA Linden a few days later, and was told [Reisig] had ordered me to sign this injunction and I had no choice. Knowing I could be fired for not following this order, I signed it after changing some of the language.”
Finally, he outlines an incident involving the Woodland Police Department. Friends of Reisig were victims of some sort of crime. However, rather than allowing the Woodland Police Department to conduct the investigation and come up with findings, he sent his own investigator and therefore inserted himself into Woodland police department’s investigation in a case where he had a personal interest.
“I feel you have sent Bruce Naliboff out on two or more on-going investigations, where your friends have called you and asked for your involvement. Having Bruce Naliboff arriving on scene attempting to direct and influence the investigation, because you have a friend involved appears inappropriate to me and other. I believe you wrote a letter to the Woodland Police Chief stating your authority to do what you wanted. This has the appearance of impropriety appears that you are giving preferential treatment your friends and shows a lack of respect to other law enforcement agencies. I believe this has strained the working relationship between this office and Woodland Police Department.”
Mr. Gore also highlights deficiencies in the range training program. DA Reisig has directed the Rangemaster and Firearms Instructors not to document deficiencies and problem seen during range training.
“Since your appointment, you have directed us not to list or document deficiencies or problems that we see during range training.”
He continues:
“I think it does the investigators and the public a disservice and puts all Rangemasters and trainers in a difficult and precarious situation. I expressed this disagreement the Chief and the senior Rangemaster, but have followed your directions and have not listed any training deficiencies on any documentation since your directive. To my knowledge, after you took office and gave this directive no training deficiency has been documented. The pattern in our records and emails will support this issue. “
The ramifications of this letter are staggering if this is born out. Efforts to conceal evidence from a murder trial, efforts to lie and deceive the court in the gang injunction case, and other such accusations could spell deep trouble for the District Attorney.
It is clear that the State Attorney General and the California Bar need to do thorough independent investigations into these very serious matters.
The Vanguard will continue to follow this developing story and update you as new information comes to the fore.

Maybe Ron will stop by and explain again why the gang injunction was such a good idea, when it was obvious from its inception that the purpose was to set the defendants up for possible jail time down the road through the civil court system without receiving notice and without the ability to defend themselves.

Ron
The process was manipulated from its inception. There was no such thing as the gang injunction as originally conceived, except in the manipulated forms that we have seen.
As recognized by the Third District Court of Appeal, the first injunction was flawed for failure to provide notice, a flaw embedded within it because the DA’s Office has never wanted to provide the defendants the ability to challenge it.
You’ve always supported it, and never expressed any concern about the prospect that people would find themselves subject to it with the prospect of facing fines and jail time without the DA ever proving that they were gang members, that they should be subject an injunction that would prohibit otherwise legal behaviour.
Of course, city attorneys and DAs around the state have successfully obtained gang injunctions elsewhere, but the legal requirements that they satisfied are apparently too burdensome for the Yolo County DA’s Office.

Is it too much to expect the DA’s office to obey the law and follow the spirit of the law all of the time? That might have an adverse impact on the win/loss record, but at least that would be the honorable way to go.
I hope the Calif AG office will look into this but I wonder. I do not understand why the AG office does not require local DA’s to follow standards. As a result of that I am certain the thought that goes into Yolo cases is much different than it is in Bay Area counties.sah

We can always remember this when then next election comes around. However, who would take on all of the risks of running against the Reisig political campaign machine? What they did to Pat is inexcusable. Reisig is not a politician, but he should know how to obey the law and make sure people around him do the same.
Searching offices of opposition candidates!? (Reisig maybe wasn’t old enough, but some of us can remember Watergate.)
Harrassment, bullying , threats to jobs and intimidation seem to be the way to get endorsements and funding for some and it is happening again with at least one current campaign. I’m hearing things that are disturbing.

Let’s be real here. Reisig’s good buddy, Jonathan Raven used to work at the AG’s office. He’ll make sure that everything is swept under the rug involving any investigation into this. Reisig will say that Gore is a disgruntled employee. Should the Grand Jury investigate? Uh, no. They report to Reisig. This will all be made to go away. Ask people who work in that office what it’s like there. Bet there’s more of what Gore describes but people are scared to say anything because they need their job.

“One major disagreement you and I had was when you tried to hide and conceal discoverable evidence about a material witness and refused to discover evidence during an on-going murder trial.”
If then Deputy DA Reisig was “hiding evidence,” why didn’t Mr. Gore report him to the state AG? Or at least report him to the defense counsel in that case? By keeping this “cover up” inhouse, it seems as if Mr. Gore has some culpability.
“Bruce Naliboff told me, in front of you, to “put a muzzle” on Randy Skaggs for talking about this discovery issue. You and I had extensive email discussion about this. Lt. Skaggs was in the office when Dave Henderson had to order you to comply with the law and therefore discover the evidence. I am sure the date of the gun test and the date of discovery of the report will show the long delay in providing this evidence, shooting and gun test, to the defense.”
I wonder how much time passed between the point when Mr. Gore believes that DDA Reisig failed to turn over “discoverable evidence” and when DA Henderson told Reisig to turn over the evidence. If it was many months, that sounds problematic. If, however, it was a shorter time — during which the DA’s office was trying to determine the nature of the evidence — then it could be that Mr. Gore is misconstruing what went on.
“He admits efforts to mislead the appellate court with regard to initial efforts at noticing a single individual who was not high up in the Broderick Boys organization.”
Again, if Mr. Gore knew of something illegal being done by DA Reisig, why did he not immediately report this to higher authorities?
If the only answer is that he wanted to keep his job, then that excuse seems to be damaged by this epistle.
The ramifications of this letter are staggering if this is born out. Efforts to conceal evidence from a murder trial, efforts to lie and deceive the court in the gang injunction case, and other such accusations could spell deep trouble for the District Attorney.
I agree. However, this is only one side of the story. And just from Mr. Gore’s own telling of it, it seems there are some serious questions about his judgment, or at least questions about his timing in coming forward with these allegations.

I’ve known Rick Gore for 11 years and he is an honorable man and honest peace officer. All of you armchair quarterbacks (only a small contingent in this blog) can sit down for a minute and reflect on the risk he’s taken. Ask yourselves would you be courageous enough to blow the whistle on your boss’s corruption 2 years from retirement? Since none of you critics have been prosecutors or sworn peace officers you have no concept of how difficult this had to be. When somebody does a good thing at great personal risk you should be cheering that the system works and people can do the right thing once in awhile, instead of speculating on why Gore didn’t come forward sooner. If you had read the entire letter you would know why he waited as long as he did.

Look for where power in any form resides. That’s where abuse is likely to take place.
I question why endorsements appear for one candidate and then much later endorsements suddenly appear for an opposing candidate. Why are people endorsing both candidates in a race?
Endorsements are out of control.
Bullying, intimidation, threats, fear…is this something that we really want in our city & county elections?
How about looking at the candidates’s track record and real demonstrated ability to get things done for the benefit of the community and not just for their own career?

You are absolutely correct, Anonymous. I, too, have known Rick for ove 6 years and my assessment is the same as yours. Law enforceent is his entire life. He cares deeply about things being done the right way and within the bounds of the law. I can only hope that others in that office will tell the truth if any agency or authority is brave enough and willing to take on this small-town feifdom that Jeff Reisig has built. Don’t ever dismiss a “disgruntled employee’s” accusations out of hand. There is probably a basis of truth.
What would the Woodland Police Chief have to say about Jeff’s buddy Naliboff interfereing with their investigations just to favor Jeff’s buddies who were involved? I hope he talks, too!

To bloggers who are questioning why Mr. Gore (I have no personal knowledge of him), like many others on the board has said, while time has passed on the incidents that have been laid out, I’m sure being the law enforcement guy that I’m reading he is, he had to wait to have enough shady incidents (not to mention the agony and personal dilemma of having the courage to report a boss’ unethical behavior), and therefore the lapse of time doesn’t seem strange to me and conclude that Mr. Gore must have some culpability to this situation.
This unethical behavior is not about Mr. Gore, it’s about JEFF REISIG. Recently, in our local newspaper, research was done into Mr. Reisig’s campaign, and tons of developes supported his campaign, which we in W. Sacramento know is one of the major reasons he sought a gang injunction in the small, tight knit communities of Broderick and Bryte. What, with half million dollar homes in the neighborhood now, and those voting residents, Puhlease, the gang injunction wasn’t about our nighborhood being terrorized, but more about a bully who wanted a position that he obviously didn’t believe in himself to be qualified enough to win on his merits, so he resorted to the only thin he knew, fishy politics.

“This unethical behavior is not about Mr. Gore, it’s about JEFF REISIG.”
They are allegations, not yet proved. If someone alleges misbehavior, he subjects himself to scrutiny, particularly when his allegations bring into question his own actions. If it is the case that Mr. Gore is as pure as the driven snow, as his friends report here, that will be shown. Until that is shown, it is perfectly fair to ask reasonable questions.

Rich,
You’re correct in that what Mr. Gore are only accusations so far. However, you’re wrong when you imply that the “messenger” must be a certified virgin with a spotless reputation in order for the “messenger”s claims to be meritorious. If that were the standard for admissible evidence no prosecutor would ever have anything to present to a jury. The person you quote is more on target than you when he says “This unethical behavior is not about Mr. Gore, it’s about JEFF REISIG.”
That being said, I’ll welcome investigation of the claims by agencies beyond the influence of Yolo County politics.

This is another “he said – she said” story. Your love of them is apparently inexhaustible. You color the sides with your own editorial comments, slant the information either for or against, and basically slam anyone who might have a different opinion. I find these pieces incredibly embarrasing. They make this site “not yet ready for prime time news.”

I never implied that the ‘messenger must be a certified virgin.’ I was simply reacting to the preceding posts which said:
1. “I have had dealings with Rick Gore, and found him to be an honorable and objective professional. He speaks the truth even when it is impolitic.”
2. “I have had dealings with Rick Gore, and found him to be an honorable and objective professional. He speaks the truth even when it is impolitic.”
3. “Rick Gore is an honorable man as is Randy Skaggs.”
4. “I’ve known Rick Gore for 11 years and he is an honorable man and honest peace officer.”
5. “I, too, have known Rick for ove 6 years and my assessment is the same as yours. Law enforceent is his entire life. He cares deeply about things being done the right way and within the bounds of the law.”
Mr. Gore may be righteous and Mr. Reisig may be the opposite. I have drawn no conclusions. Unfortunately, others seem to have closed their minds extremely fast, without having heard the other side or without having heard Mr. Gore’s testimony questioned. That is what Johnny Cochran called, “a rush to judgment”:
1. “Three cheers for all the morons who voted for Jeff “I wanna be Schwarzenegger” Reisig.”
2. “Let’s nail Reizig.”
3. “What other employees are being subjected to this type of harassment in the DA’s office?”
4. “Recall time?”

Wow! I am stunned. I don’t think anyone can draw conclusions one way or the other just yet, if not an insider. Clearly an independent investigation is required. This reminds me a bit of the Yolo Housing Authority scandel. Serena was eventually taken down, and the same can hold true of Reisig if he has done what is alleged.
I do understand why it may have taken Gore some time before coming forward. First of all, when something is done that seems not quite right, you may have doubts but rationalize them away. If it happens again and again, the pattern starts to make you queasy. After a while, if things are too rotten, it becomes a matter of personal ethics and what you can and can’t live with.
I ran into this sort of thing in the workplace. Fortunately, when I blew the whistle it worked out for the best. It doesn’t always though. Remember Karen Silkwood (I think that was her name), the one who wound up dead after ratting out the nuclear energy system?
Since Gore put his career on the line, it does make one wonder about Reisig. What we don’t know is if this was a pre-emptive strike before Gore was going to be fired for wrongdoing of his own. We need to hear both sides, but through a truly independent investigation. I wouldn’t even want to speculate on this one, but what a great scoop. Congrats again DPD, on a job well done!
Frankly, I am just happy that some of the old guard are not being allowed to get away with things. Some are starting to dig, report, take the chance and do the right thing. Hooray for ethics – looks like it might be making a comeback!
