Supposedly the D.A. has allowed Deputy Ivory Webb to make court hearings via "speaker phone"...Would you or I ever get preferred treatment? Is this normal? Why is he being shielded from the public?

August 28, 2006 - LOS ANGELES -- The former San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy charged in connection with the shooting of an Air Force senior airman appeared Monday in court. A judge ruled that there is sufficient evidence for the case to go to trial. The trial was scheduled to begin in September. During a brief proceeding earlier this year, Judge Michael Smith agreed to push former deputy Ivory Webb's preliminary hearing into August. This gave attorneys more time to review an FBI enhanced copy of a home video considered key evidence in the case, NBC4 reported. Webb pleaded not guilty during the earlier court appearance to attempted voluntary manslaughter in the videotaped shooting of the unarmed man who had been riding in a car pursued by the deputy. The car's driver separately pleaded not guilty to felony evading and misdemeanor driving under the influence. On Jan. 29, Webb was videotaped shooting Air Force Senior Airman Elio Carrion, 21, three times. Carrion testified Monday at the hearing. "My purpose today was to show that there is sufficient evidence, that there is probable cause to hold the defendant to answer," said Deputy District Attorney Lewis Cope. The shadowy nighttime recording made by a resident showed Carrion on the ground by the passenger door of a Corvette that crashed after a pursuit in Chino, 45 miles east of Los Angeles. Carrion appeared to obey a command to "Get up" when the deputy fired. Carrion was hit in the chest, shoulder and left thigh, but survived. "Mr. Carrion exchanged profanities with my client," said defense attorney Michael Schwartz. "At times, he was challenging. It wasn't quite the picture that may have been put out in the media when the case broke." www.nbc4.tv/news/9749516/detail.html

Did the tape come out before the deputy made a statement. I wonder what his first report said. 03/16/2006 - Luis Carrillo said a video of the Jan. 29 shooting of his client, Elio Carrion, 21, clearly catches Deputy Ivory J. Webb Jr. yelling, after the shooting, that Carrion tried to attack the him before he opened fire. The shooting, which an amateur cameraman captured on videotape, came after a high-speed car chase. The grainy footage appears to show Carrion, the passenger in the car, complying with Webb's commands to get up just before the deputy shot him three times. Television broadcasts of the video, which are of poor quality, don't appear to back the claim that Carrion made any threatening moves toward the deputy. It also is difficult to hear any verbal exchanges after the shooting. The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office last week charged Webb with attempted voluntary manslaughter. Webb faces more than 18 years in prison if convicted of the charge and the enhancements of using a gun and causing great bodily injury to Carrion. "When you look at the video and listen closely, you already know he is starting to set up his false version," Carrillo said Wednesday. "When (Webb) first talked to the officers, he was under the impression there was no contrary evidence that would discredit him."Statements to San Bernardino County investigators bolster the accusations made by Carrillo and the man who took the video, Jose Luis Valdes. Both said they heard similar comments from Webb. Webb's attorney, Michael Schwartz, did not return repeated calls for comment. The deputy told a Chino police officer who arrived on the scene and later a sheriff's sergeant that Carrion had "charged him," according to information in a report published by the Los Angeles Times. The nearly 400-page confidential sheriff's report, which the Times obtained, indicates that despite Webb's early statements, the deputy later said he shot Carrion because he believed the airman was going for a gun."I'm not surprised about the conflicting statements," Carrillo said Wednesday. "This shows that Webb should have been charged with attempted murder and giving false statements."The attorney said the sheriff's department and FBI are in possession of an unedited version of the videotape. Carrillo said he viewed the unedited version of the tape and added that Webb yelled expletives numerous times at Carrion after he was shot. Webb demanded that Carrion not move five times and then twice yelled more expletives at Carrion after the shooting, he said. The last words Webb yelled were a warning to the injured Carrion not to attack him, Carrillo said. The District Attorney's Office declined to comment on the accusations and also said despite the Times publishing excerpts from the report, it would not be released. The sheriff's department official called the document an investigative report and not a public document. Four days had passed by the time Webb was interviewed by detectives, and he had already seen the video before meeting with investigators, the published account states. During a lengthy interview, Webb broke down, saying that he believed he was in danger. "I'm dead," Webb said he was thinking at the time, according to the report. "I'm not going to see my baby, I'm not going to see my wife. I'm not going to see my dad." According to the Times, it was unclear if detectives challenged Webb's contradictory statements. Webb said when the Corvette stopped, Carrion emerged from the vehicle looking like he was trying to find an escape route. The deputy also was trying to keep an eye on the driver, Luis Fernando Escobedo, when the shooting occurred, according to the report. Wednesday, Valdes said when the officers arrived at the scene, he invited officers to view the tape in his home. Valdes said Webb had already been taken away from the scene by other officers. Investigators came into his home some stood behind his couch and others sat as the video played. All the officers sat in silence until the moment Webb shot Carrion. At that point Valdes said "they all gasped." "I don't know what the officer was thinking when he did that to Carrion," Valdes said. "From the beginning, I've been telling people that what I saw that night wasn't what (Webb) said happened. If I didn't videotape it, Webb would've been free and Carrion would be sitting in jail."Carrillo on Wednesday said he agreed with Valdes that without the video, everything would have played out differently. "It highlights that the custom and practice of police covering up misconduct and excessive force is alive and well in San Bernardino County," he said.

Ex-Hawkeye Webb no longer has job May 12, 2006 The Daily Bulletin newspaper in California reported Thursday that former Iowa football player Ivory J. Webb Jr., a sheriff's deputy who shot an unarmed Air Force airman in January, no longer works for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. Webb ceased to be employed by the department as of April 13, but officials would not disclose whether he was fired or he resigned. Webb shot Elio Carrion on Jan. 29 following a short high-speed chase. Webb was charged with attempted voluntary manslaughter and a special allegation of causing great bodily injury. Most police departments usually don't stand behind liars, when there caught on tape.

why was this not attempted murder. you reckless fire a weapon any where their is a law enforcement officer your charged w/attempted murder.he shot this man 3 times .far as i am concerned da only filed charges because of public opion not for welfare of the people.how many times has this happened and been covered up. It's not attempted murder, probably because the Deputy has immunity granted to him by the government. Probably because it was done in the commission of enforcing the "law?" That's just my guess, someone else might have a better answer? If anything maybe attempted "coerced" murder, if there is such a thing? ;D "How many times has this happened and been covered up?" Some people say it happens alot, then you have those that say it doesn't happen all that much. Then every once in awhile, we get lucky because someone grabbed a camcorder and recorded the truth! Speaking of camcorders, the guy that "filmed" the shooting, sold the tape to a T.V. station for I think I read $5000.00 and told the T.V. station to donate all the money to the wife of the shooting victim.

Be interesting to know if Deputy Webb had any past complaints filed against him, this could help/hurt his case.
Someone mentioned that they hoped Deputy Ivory spent time in jail. Don't think it will happen! If anything maybe probation. If he does spend time in prison, he will be one of the best kept prisoners there. They will keep him out of general population, for his safety. Tell me how many other citizens would have special privileges like this? Only a cop!

03/08/2006 - Deputy Webb shot Mr. Carrion and intended to kill him," said Dist. Atty. Michael A. Ramos. "This is a very difficult decision for us. But when the FACTS say a crime has been committed, it is our duty to file charges. We will let the community decide if it's a crime." If convicted, Webb will face up to 18½ years in state prison, though he could have faced more had Ramos charged him with attempted murder. Legal experts agree that obtaining a conviction is far from certain, however, pointing out that Southern California juries have traditionally been reluctant to find police officers guilty of misconduct, even when their alleged crimes are taped. For example, when four LAPD officers were charged in state court for their roles in the videotaped beating of Rodney King in 1991, a jury in Simi Valley acquitted them. Two of the officers were later convicted of civil rights violations in federal court. www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-highspeed8mar08,0,7172251.story?coll=la-home-local

More back ground on deputy Ivory Webb: Not only was deputy Webb a member of Iowa's 1982 Rose Bowl, but his father is a former Compton Police Chief.

02/09/2006 - In an interview outside court, Valdes said that he also saw the deputy kick Carrion three times, and that the deputy was far bigger than Carrion. Carrion's wife, Mariela Carrion, told NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday that Webb kicked her husband after the shooting and after Valdes' recording had stopped. Seems the Deputies luck keeps running out.

Has anyone wondered why they haven't shown the video from the deputies vehicle? I suppose Chino is too cheap to buy officers cams or maybe the officer didn't activate the cam, during the pursuit?
