L.A. county prosecutors have started a broad review of cases that rely on testimony or evidence from at least two members of a gang squad suspected of making illegal stops and stealing items from suspects, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
With criminal charges looming against the officers at the center of the Los Angeles Police Department's latest corruption scandal, county prosecutors have started a broad review of hundreds of cases that rely on testimony or evidence from at least two members of a gang squad suspected of making illegal stops and stealing items from suspects, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
Prosecutors have debated, the sources said, about whether to charge the officer with robbery, which is defined as as the taking of property with the use or threat of force, rather than theft. Prosecutors and some of the LAPD's own investigators have raised questions about whether the department's initial probe was too limited in its scope, according to a source briefed on the case who was not authorized to speak publicly.
