DID A DECADE OF FAULTY FBI FORENSICS RESULT IN HUNDREDS OF WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS? 
Defendants across the U.S. were left in the dark about the DOJ&#8217;s knowledge of  nine years worth of faulty FBI forensics.  Justice officials defended their actions saying that they were only legally obligated to inform the prosecutors, not [...]]]></description>

Last Thursday night, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck announced a newly crafted, and hearteningly enlightened policy toward transgender people&#8212;including a separate LAPD lock-up,  the first in the nation.  The new policy takes a hugely significant step in [...]]]></description>

In LA&#8217;s most recent round of budget cuts last week, the mayor&#8217;s office, the city council and the office of city attorney Carmen Trutanich, all had another $1 million cut from their respective bottom lines.

Really, all we&#8217;re asking for is a little of the much promised transparency and accountability.  
It&#8217;s a season of ongoing budgetary nightmares. LA&#8217;s libraries are losing  one-third of their staff.  Even the city&#8217;s firefighters are taking budget hits.  However one of the few programs or agencies in all of Los Angeles [...]]]></description>

The Los Angeles City Council approved much of mayor Antonio Villaraigosa&#8217;s proposed budget on Monday afternoon.
Library hours were cut, day care eliminated, 761 city positions were slashed-&#8211;with a possible road back on some of the jobs if unions will approve a five percent pay cut to their employees.   For the moment, however, the [...]]]></description>
