A former Santa Clara police officer has been convicted in federal court of passing confidential information to a member of the Hells Angels because he owed the biker money.

Clay Rojas, 37, who had served five years with the Santa Clara Police Department, was convicted Wednesday by a U.S. District Court jury in San Jose of 12 felony counts, including conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, illegal use of a computer for financial gain and improper computer access.

Rojas will be sentenced in November.

"We're very disappointed in the verdict," said Rojas' attorney, Daniel Jensen.

And many of us wouldn't say "disappointed" because that implies that we had better expectations that were not satisfied.

I'm not disappointed. He got convicted. That is extremely rare with rogue cops.

I wish the story told me more about how a cop comes to be owning money to a Hell's Angel in the first place.
