Judge Finds Ex-Prosecutor Lied About Tainting Jury

John "Jack" Quatman, whose claims of jury bias against Jews rocked the Alameda County, Calif., district attorney's office, "is dishonest and unethical," a judge found Tuesday.

In a report to the California Supreme Court, Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Kevin Murphy said Quatman lied when he said he removed jurors because they were Jewish and when he said he did so at the direction of then-Alameda County Judge Stanley Golde.

Murphy found "ample evidence" that Quatman made up his story to exact revenge on DA Tom Orloff who transferred the longtime prosecutor from capital cases in 1993.

"People do act according to their character, and for that reason, John Quatman's allegations about Judge Golde can't be believed," Murphy concluded.

That's pretty harsh. Details here from The Recorder.
