After an extensive investigation, Diana Teran was charged by the California Department of Justice with 11 felony counts prohibiting the use of data from a government computer system without permission.
Felony charges have been filed against a Los Angeles County assistant district attorney, who is accused of repeated and unauthorized use of data from confidential, statutorily protected peace officer files, the California Attorney General's Office announced Wednesday.
"When I took office, we developed a protocol that ensured we complied with our constitutional obligations under Brady -- which requires us to turn over potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense, a category that includes law enforcement's prior misconduct -- while simultaneously complying with state and federal law around privacy. I stand by that protocol," L.A. County DA George Gascón said in a statement.
