Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, left, and his attorney Nathan Hochman leave federal court in Los Angeles, Monday, Dec. 19, 2016, after the prosecution and defense presented their closing arguments and the case went to the jury. The longtime lawman is charged with conspiracy and obstruction of justice for acts his subordinates carried out in August and September 2011, when his deputies discovered an inmate with a smuggled cellphone was an FBI informant using the device to document abuses.
