Police and prosecutors disagree on the utility of crime cameras. How about saving $ by cutting off the blue lights? They've got to be thoroughly annoying (and humiliating) to people who have to live next to them. Wonder if any residents or homeowners have asked the city to remove the lights from their property sight lines?

Jury seated and trial underway in the Lamont Davis case

Skinny Suge's cohort and Tree Top Piru Antwoine Gross, 23, gets 12 years for racketeering conspiracy. Or in other words "Defendant Stabbed and Shot a Man Who was Later Murdered by other TTP Members for Testifying About the Stabbing and Shooting"

Sadly, neither press release tells us what their gang nicknames were.

And 10 federal years for hair-ron for Adrian Aulton. Aulton was apparently a co-conspirator of "Jr" and 'Turkey," who were implicated in the 2007 torture and murder of Sintia Mesa.
