Ex-Orange County deputy gets 4 months in jail for stealing from dead victims

A former Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputy has pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four months in jail for stealing the credit cards of dead victims he came across while on the job, according to court records. Steve Hortz, 43, of San Dimas, pleaded guilty on Feb. 22 to single felony counts of burglary and grand theft and single misdemeanor counts each of burglary, identity theft and grand theft by embezzlement, records show. He was placed on two years of formal probation and must report to jail by June 3.

Orange County District Attorney Spitzer Hits Back at Accuser in Harassment Claim

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer Wednesday fired back at a retired top-level prosecutor who filed a legal claim alleging she was subjected to retaliation for raising issues of sexual harassment and required disclosure of evidence to defense attorneys in two capital cases.
