Criminal charges were dismissed Monday against two more Los Angeles police officers accused of intentionally misidentifying people as gang members.
Criminal charges were dismissed Monday against two more Los Angeles police officers accused of intentionally misidentifying people as gang members —that at its peak involved investigations into more than 30 officers.
“Because our office cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Officers Coblentz and Martinez had a specific intent of falsifying evidence, we asked for the charges to be dismissed,” Dist. Atty. George Gascón’s office said in a statement to The Times.Joseph Weimortz, an attorney for Martinez, said his client never intentionally mislabeled anyone a gang member and was glad to have the case against him dismissed.
With five cases now dismissed, and prosecutors deciding not to file charges against 25 other officers who had come under investigation, just one case remains.
