Brad Gage, Sheriff Corpus' attorney, stated, "The Peace Officer's Bill of Rights protects every peace officer, including a sheriff," emphasizing the legal framework under which the sheriff is seeking protection against perceived discrimination.
Gage accused the county of "discriminating against, harassing and defaming a dedicated public servant" arguing that the treatment of Sheriff Corpus differs because of her gender and ethnicity, pointing out discrepancies in how her records were handled.
The claim also highlights concerns regarding an audit conducted by retired Judge LaDoris Cordell, noting that it was flawed and lacked proper procedures, which raises questions about fairness in the investigation.
Sheriff Corpus' attorney demanded transparency in the investigation, insisting that "We want the names of the witnesses. We want the complete report. It's a matter of fairness" regarding the handling of the sheriff's case.
