San Diego County supervisors will likely be asked to appeal the order to unseal records of internal investigations into jail deaths and injuries.
The public is inching closer to being able to see what evidence San Diego sheriff’s officials look at when deputies are accused of negligence or misconduct.
ordering the sheriff to deliver the internal records to the news organizations’ legal team by June 7.“Good cause exists to grant this application,” the sheriff’s lawyers wrote. “The county will be irreparably harmed and prejudiced if the county is required to comply with the minute order of May 31, 2023.”
The documents relate to 12 separate investigations conducted by the sheriff’s Critical Incident Review Board in the past 10-plus years. Each of the cases was initiated in the wake of the death or serious injury of somebody incarcerated in a county jail. County lawyers initially sought a stay during the May 31 court hearing, but the judge declined. Ohta said she would address the county’s request in her final ruling, which she has not yet issued.
The incidents are costing taxpayers a lot of money. Deaths and injuries sustained by people in local jails have cost the county some $60 million in legal settlements and jury awards over the past five years.
