It's hard to figure out some people. They seem to be intelligent, but then they act as if they don't have a grasp on reality. Why didn't Luis Acle show some remorse, apologize, and settle this case (see article below)?
Did he fool himself about his wrongdoing, or was he just convinced he could fool other people? I suspect that a combination of delusion and dishonesty caused him to act the way he did. After 34 years of dealing with people in the field of education, I've found that this combination is less rare than one might wish.
Scott Lewis of Voice of San Diego discusses the Ethics Commission fine against SDUSD trustee Luis Acle:
...he had the chance to cooperate with their investigation and maybe work something out like so many other politicos in town. Instead, he fought...
He took the Ethics Commission to its first ever full administrative hearing...
Acle must have argued worse than he did when he faced the IRS -- his fine, the paper reported, came to more than $75,000.
...He was found to have not only failed to pay contracted workers on his campaign, the commission found him to have hidden expenses and collected donations in cash. These are direct efforts to hide information from voters...
Unfortunately for him, he armed himself with very little evidence...
