Sheriff Joe will appeal this politically-motivated ruling, and this time demand that a jury of peers rather than a lone judge decide his fate.

Appeals courts don't have juries. The only way for Arpiao to get a jury is for his original conviction to be thrown out and to be retried.

A pardon would surely send a message to the judiciary of this country, those wanna’ be oligarchs.

I think this will be the basis of his appeal, the original trial should have been a jury trial.

It seems more than just a little Un-American to not be able to get a trial by a jury of his peers.

Trump should have pardoned him on inauguration day instead of letting Joe twist in the wind at the mercy of Obama filth.

I hope Trump pardons him. Joe still has appeals but Trump should do it now.

Apparently in Arizona a trial by jury for non-felony charges isn't guaranteed.

These are misdemeanor charges. Juries are not guaranteed in those cases.

It would be nice if President Trump’s first two pardons were for Scooter Libby and Sheriff Arpaio — two unjustly convicted by corrupt prosecutors for political reasons.

Pardon all DNC political prisoners such as Sheriff Joe, James O’Keefe, etc. Even if they’ve served their time, nullify it and make sure to say they were falsely convicted for political reasons.
