Tony Rackauckas' Camp Caught Tampering with Evidence Just as They do in the Courtroom
Orange County – April 2 – Tony Rackauckas’ camp was caught red handed tampering with evidence in a failed attempt to contest Todd Spitzer’s ballot statement. The night before the lawsuit was filed, a key witness manipulated the Wikipedia page for Marsy’s Law to remove Spitzer’s credit as a co-author. Spitzer’s name was deleted from the ‘Key Persons for Marsy’s Law’ page after that reference had been there unblemished for the last six years. Tony Rackauckas’ office has repeatedly tampered with evidence to win cases - illegally using informants and withholding evidence from the defense – which has delayed justice for victims and led to numerous high-profile cases being botched.

Orange County – January 10 – In the last election cycle, Rackauckas endorsed Superior Court Judge Steiner who pled guilty to violating eleven counts of Judicial Canons by the Commission on Judicial Performance, which nearly caused his removal from the Bench.1 The first group of charges centered on his misconduct for having sex in his Courthouse Chambers with two different women who were his former Chapman Law students where Steiner had been an adjunct professor. One went on to be his law clerk/intern, and the other became a practicing attorney who appeared before him. The second group of charges focussed on Steiner’s use of undue influence in trying to secure employment for his clerk/intern with Rackauckas’ office. The last group of charges involved Steiner’s failure to disclose personal relationships and improperly referring cases in which he had a personal conflict with other judges without consulting the Presiding Judge as required by court procedure.
