Thomas Romero of Utah was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in 2011. He was one of 13,816 DUI arrests that year, according to the Utah Commission of Criminal and Juvenile Justice. The arrest caused Romero to lose his truck and his motor home before it was discovered that he was innocent of the crime, and he was not the only one.

The arresting officer, former Utah state trooper Lisa Steed was honored as ‘Trooper of the Year’ following her high number of DUI arrests – until a number of the arrests were overturned and her deception cost Steed her job.

For the victims of her lies, the loss of her job was not enough. Dozens of people have been coming forward to claim that they are also victims and a class action lawsuit has been filed against her and the state.

The people want back what they lost because of the false allegations: their homes, vehicles, and pay from lost jobs.

Attorney Robert Sykes wants to take the lawsuit one step further and overturn every single DUI conviction where only one state trooper was witness.

As for Romero, his lawyers are hoping to get him $20,000 to make up for what he lost. In total, Steed and the Utah highway patrol may be looking at having to pay $2 million in damages.

Absolutely not. Considering she lied that means she lied to the court.

(Excerpt) The most common penalty for perjury is a fine and/or jail, but the amount of the fine or jail time can depend on judicial discretion in sentencing. It’s possible for there to be a minimum sentence length as a penalty for perjury, perhaps one year, and a maximum length of sentencing at five to 10 years per charge. If the person has committed more than one act of perjury, as by making numerous false statements under oath, he or she could be charged with multiple offenses and that could increase total fines charged or jail time. If the penalty for perjury is a mandatory one-year sentence, and the person perjured himself five times, he might face five years in prison. (End)

(Excerpt) Attorney Michael Studebaker, who is one of the lawyers leading the class-action lawsuit, says he has been contacted by at least 40 people claiming Steed wrongfully arrested them on DUI or drug charges.......Steed was named Utah Highway Patrol's "Trooper of the Year" in 2007 for making more than 200 DUI arrests, a reward that Studebaker says should be taken away from her.

So, for every case in which she perjured herself she should be sentenced consecutively as opposed to having them run concurrently. For example: forty cases, forty years. Considering space in jails is at a premium she could serve out the sentence doing house arrest. Considering any condition can be attached to house arrest and seeing she is, well, "healthy" :) she could be sentenced to a miserable life with no boyfriend. It would only take one case/sentence like that to get the attention of troopers. A police officer guilty of perjury? Loss of job and one year in jail on each count.
