Judge Threatens Calif. Officials With Contempt

SACRAMENTO (AP) ―

A federal judge is threatening to hold Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's administration in contempt if they don't quickly come up with a plan to take care of thousands of mentally ill inmates.

U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton in Sacramento says he is appalled by evidence the state is not capable of doing its duty.

He called it "mind-boggling" that the state still doesn't have a mental health treatment plan 14 years after a class-action lawsuit was first filed on behalf of inmates.

6. More "mind-boggling" is the courts took 14 years to reach their conclusion. That's real contempt. nt
