[quote=bubba99]I am not sure where the crime is. Vandalism is for property “any real or personal property not his or her own”. If the trashing was before the sale – no crime[/quote]
When thinking about it, Acosta is as guilty as everyone else who trashed their house — and there are plenty of them. So many of them that that’s what prompted banks to do cash for keys.
And by no means am I condoning it. But why go after him and not all the others. Do I think he should still be a cop? No. If you’re stupid enough to jeapardize your career this way, no. But should he go to jail for it? No. Not unless everyone else who trashed their house goes to jail. Along w/all the people who have committed fraud in this real estate bubble.
I don’t think there’s enough jail space for everyone.
