Los Angeles County prosecutors are convening a criminal grand jury to investigate whether the Sheriff’s Department mishandled an incident in which a sheriff’s deputy kneeled on a handcuffed inmate’s head for three minutes.
that the department was notified last week of a criminal grand jury subpoena for records related to the incident and that “we are conducting a thorough internal investigation, and we are fully cooperating with this subpoena.”
The investigative grand jury can also recommend charges, which prosecutors can file down the line, whereas an indictment grand jury is “responsible for looking for evidence that was already put together by prosecution,” Jackson said. At the San Fernando Courthouse, deputies were conducting routine searches of inmates before their court appearances when deputies told two inmates to be quiet.
Escalante turned around and punched Johnson in the face multiple times. Johnson and other deputies then took Escalante to the ground, positioning him facedown.Johnson is the deputy who took gruesome photos thatof the scene of the helicopter crash that killed Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven others. He is expected to testify in Vanessa Bryant’s highly publicized trial against L.A. County, which is set to start this week.
But former Assistant Sheriff Robin Limon, who was once one of Villanueva’s top advisors, alleged in a legal claim that she personally brought a DVD containing a video of the incident to Villanueva —and two others just five days after it happened. After The Times report, Villanueva demoted Limon over the incident.
