Investigation reportedly clears LAPD in Christopher Dorner's firing
In the months since Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck launched a review of Christopher Dorner's firing and his allegations of racism and corruption in the department, police officials have remained silent on their findings.
The much-anticipated report, Beck said repeatedly, would be made public when it was completed sometime later this month.
That carefully laid plan was upended Tuesday by an Associated Press report that the department had concluded that Dorner's firing was appropriate and his claims of corruption unfounded.
The report attributed the expected but nonetheless notable findings to Connie Rice, a well-known civil rights attorney who, according to the report, was allowed by the LAPD to review the lengthy report and hundreds of pages of background material.
After he was fired in 2009 for falsely accusing his partner of kicking a handcuffed mentally ill man, Dorner resurfaced in February, bent on seeking revenge for his ouster."
