The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office is now reviewing hundreds of criminal cases that involved three Los Angeles police officers who were charged earlier this month with allegedly falsifying evidence
Officers Braxton Shaw, Michael Coblentz and Nicolas Martinez were charged in a 59-count complaint for allegedly falsely identifying people as gang members or associates. The officers falsified identities and evidence that would later be entered into a state gang database, according to Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey.Earlier this month, California's attorney general revoked access to data that the LAPD entered in the database.
Letters to more than 750 peopleOn Tuesday, the district attorney's office confirmed to CNN it is now sending letters to more than 750 defendants whose cases listed at least one of the three officers as potential witnesses. The defendants are being urged to contact the district attorney's office if they feel the officers' involvement was prejudicial or merits further review.
