"I'm in fighting condition. They haven't broken me down, and they won't break me down."


On September 18, he said:


"We can now look at cleaning up the judiciary and stopping (23 years of) illegal payments....that have cost taxpayers $300 million."


While imprisoned, Fine filed dozens of motions, including a complaint several days before his release, charging local, state and federal prosecutors with a massive "judicial corruption and bribery scheme" in California courts.


Writing District Attorney Steve Cooley, state Attorney General Jerry Brown, and US Attorney Andre Birotte, he requested local, state, and federal investigations of LA County judges and supervisors for alleged corruption, a longstanding problem Fine challenged from the early 1990s until his illegal disbarment and March 4, 2009 jailing.


Now free, he may continue his work and advocacy to cleanse LA County of corruption, costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, the same problem throughout America, especially in Washington, as well as from Wall Street and other corporate predators, notorious for ripping off unsuspecting customers and clients.


A Final Comment


Those challenging entrenched power risk grave harm to themselves. Besides many others, Fine and two other courageous lawyers stand out.
