Plea bargaining policy under fire
Thursday, Oct. 5, 2000 | 11:15 a.m

Amador notes that only one or two of the women he is representing have or even want work cards to be dancers.

"I have a client from out of state who was on the Strip and was approached by an undercover officer who offered her $2,000," he said. "She had been drinking and said OK and was arrested and charged with soliciting even though she was entrapped.

"Before Metro, the DA and the ACLU overreacted and turned this into a political issue, the prosecutor could have used proper discretion. My client would have agreed to take an AIDS class, stay out of trouble for six months and then have the case dismissed."

Amador, who was a deputy district attorney for eight years in the 1980s, said he now has no choice but to take that case and others through the system because the forces arguing over work card constitutionality, "are digging their heels in the sand."
