It’s the first set of probes the Office of Independent Review, which has sat vacant since 2018, has announced in years. An Aug. 27 report announced three investigations.
Several family members of victims of Orange County’s deadliest mass murder are demanding that District Attorney Todd Spitzer resign.
The purchase would be for OC District Attorney Todd Spitzer’s headquarters and garage from Mike Harrah, a local developer who co-chaired Spitzer’s campaign.
After Todd Spitzer took office as district attorney, he took a starkly different approach towards the same prosecutors he criticized as a candidate.
Epps’ release comes amid protests by people who said he had no criminal history but had been displaying uncharacteristic behavior like paranoia and anxiety.
Epps’ family and local activists have mounted a campaign to raise awareness of the case, and held a protest outside the Fullerton courthouse where a pretrial hearing was scheduled.
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Monday there was no evidence of a breach.
The judge called it an effort at a “back room dismissal by prosecutors without the alleged victims ever having the opportunity to be heard.”
While Orange County District Attorney is fighting bail release on roughly 300 inmates, OC officials are trying to figure out who will pay the rest of the hotel bill for homeless people during the pandemic.
Spitzer denounced what some attorneys decried as a serious public safety hazard at the main courthouse in Santa Ana today, but a day earlier he urged court staff and attorneys to remain calm and assured that measures were in place to protect attorneys and court staff.
