before the panel unless it meets certain conditions, namely the presence of a neutral hearing officer, the ability to cross-examine witnesses and deliver an opening statement, and a preview of all exhibits.
"This is a repeat of his outrageous behavior," Rubin said. "And it's clear that he never intends to appear before this commission.""It's just not appropriate for this oversight body to allow the sheriff to dictate the terms of our oversight hearing," Kennedy said.
