CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM ABOUT THE NEW LASD CITIZEN’S COMMISSION AND BACA’S TRIAL FAST APPROACHING
On Wednesday, I was on KCRW’s Press Play with Madeleine Brand talking with her about the newly formed Citizens’ Oversight Commission for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, and also about the latest developments in the upcoming federal trial of former LA County sheriff Lee Baca.
New commission member Hernán Vera was also on the show, talking about what he feels the commission can accomplish and why, the concerns he has, and the things that give him cause for optimism. Vera is an attorney who, for years, was the head of the nation’s largest pro-bono law firm. He now is in private practice.
