Federal charges filed
against four L.A. cops
LOS ANGELES
(AP) — Federal
civil rights
charges have
been leveled against the four
policemen whose acquittals on
most state charges in the beat
ing of motorist Rodney King
led to deadly riots.
Indictments handed down
late Tuesday and unsealed
Wednesday charged officers
Laurence Powell, Timothy
Wind and Theodore Briseno
with aiding and abetting each
other in beating, stomping and
kicking King under color of
law.
The fourth defendant, Sgt.
Stacey Koon. was charged with
failing to prevent an unlawful
assault by the officers under his
command.
U.S. Attorney Lourdes Baird
suid prosecutors will not allege
that the beating was racially
motivated, although the defen
dants are white and King is
black.
“As far as a racial motiva
tion, that is not part of those
charges and wo are not making
that allegation." Baird said.
She said the right that is al
leged to have been violated is
the right of all citizens to fie
free of unreasonable assault by
police officers "regardless of
race or sex."
The indictments capped
three months of grand jury
heurings launched shortly after
the April 29 verdicts in the offi
cers' state trial sot off rioting so
severe that National Guards
mon wore sent in. The riots
caused millions in damage and
52 people were killed.
President Bush denounced
the slate jury's decision. Baird
maintained there was no politi
cal pressure to return indict
ments before the presidential
election and said she never dis
cussed the case with the White
House.
The state trial was moved
from Los Angelos County to
suburban and predominantly
white Simi Valley in adjoining
Ventura County. Baird suid she
expects no such shift of loca
tion in the federal trial. The
federal district draws on seven
counties for its jury pool.
She said the Investigation
was continuing but declined to
say if additional Indictments
were expected.
The four defendants wore ex
pected to surrender Thursday,
she said.
Each defendant was charged
under a post Civil War-era civil
rights statute that carries a
maximum penalty of 10 years
in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Baird said the Indictment re
flects no criticism of the state
case against the officers. She
declined to say how the federal
case will differ, but said the in
dictment was well supported
by evidence.
District Attorney Ira Reiner
declined to compare the cases,
saying he hadn't talked to fed
eral prosecutors.
In the stalo trial, all except
Powell were cleared of assault
charges. Powell, 29, faces a
state trial in October on an un
resolvod excessive force count.
