#CalTrain deputy director Joseph Vincent Navarro found #guilty of misappropriation of $40k in public funds for conspiring with contractor during pandemic era and converting #Burlingame train station office into secret personal residential getaway with private gym.

Navarro, who now lives in Pennsylvania and previously told the #MercuryNews that his criminal charge was “overstated” and that he did nothing wrong. His co-conspirator #contractor had built himself similar living quarters inside the #Millbrae Cal #trainstation and plead #guilty, turning States #evidence against Navarro.

Navarro , whose attorneys claimed it was not a #secret , that he had given the key to his secretary, allowed his girlfriend to stay there, and the conversion was done with knowledge of his supervisor, still faces sentencing under judge's discretion which could range from actual #prison time, to more likely #probation.

Joseph Navarro faced one felony count turning a section of the Burlingame train station into an apartment, complete with a bedroom, a gym and a living room, prosecutors said at the trial. After several days of testimony and closing arguments on Tuesday, the jury began its deliberations Wednesday morning and came to a consensus in the afternoon. The jury also found true that the charges were filed within the proper statute of limitations, which is three years of when the crime is discovered or should have been discovered. Defense lawyers had argued that the initial discovery should have meant the charges were filed too late. “We're very pleased that the jury was able to see through the defense and recognize that he had no authorization ."

An argument can be made about mentally ill who pose a danger to themselves or others, and whether they should be confined for treatment against their will. I'm not advocating for or against that.

However, locking up accused people until trial just because they've been charged with something is a non-starter. They haven't been convicted of anything yet! All the government would have to do is charge you with a phony crime, and they can lock you away for years? No thanks.

If someone is out on conditions - bail, parole, whatever form of supervised release - and they violate those conditions, then you may have justification to confine them. It would depend on the circumstances.

But "lock up everyone ever charged before conviction" is autocratic dictator bullshit.
