Convicted or Not, L.A. Sheriff Baca Will Collect a Big Pension
Leroy "Lee" Baca, the man served for 16 years as L.A. County's top cop, has admitted to charges of lying to the FBI in a coverup of inmate abuse at the county jail. But even if convicted, the retired Los Angeles County Sheriff will continue to receive retirement benefits – today valued at more than $342,000 annually. A conviction would put him in a unique position to corner the prison commissary.
