Deputy Submits Letter Of Resignation In Casey Case

YES!

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- In the case against Casey Anthony, Orange County Deputy Richard Cain submitted his letter of resignation (read resignation letter) Monday and will not appeal the discipline he was given following a professional standards investigation into allegations that he did not properly investigate a citizen’s tip relating to the Caylee Anthony investigation.

Last August, Deputy Cain went to the area where Caylee Anthony's remains were eventually found. However, while he was there Cain said he saw nothing suspicious.

The professional standards investigation determined that Cain had violated two of the agency’s standards of conduct, unsatisfactory performance, for which he was given a 160 hour suspension, and truthfulness, for which he was terminated.
The sheriff's department says he didn't do a proper search and he was fired for lying about it. Cain was supposed to appeal at a hearing, which was set for Tuesday May 19, but it was cancelled.

Deputy Cain joined the sheriff’s office on June 6, 2006 and was assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division.
