San Jose Escorts: Killer Cop Update from First Los Angeles Status Hearing
The next pre-trial hearing is scheduled for February 19, 2010 at 8:30 am in the same courtroom (210 W. Temple Los Angeles, CA 9th Floor, Dept. 104). The judge seems to be attempting to get the trial started in the middle of May 2010, with each side estimating that it would take 8-10 days for each of them to present their cases.
Background on Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry:
Judge Perry presided over the infamous Los Angeles “Rampart Scandal,” in which he allowed every single crooked cop to gain clemency through giving witness testimonies against each other. These were cops involved in murders, shootings and vicious beatings, planting guns and drugs on people to get false charges, selling major weight of cocaine on the streets, prostitution rings and more, but they all got off except for Rafael Perez who was the original cop busted for stealing 6 pounds of cocaine from the evidence room. Questions had been raised on upwards of thousands of cases these cops handled, but the vast majority of the cases didn’t end up get looked at in the end because it was “old news.”
