Sullivan has an executive producer credit. “City of Lies” received its international premiere in Italy in 2019. Saban Films took on distribution rights and the fi lm is now playing throughout the country. Sullivan’s follow up to “LAbyrinth,” “Dead Wrong: The Continuing Story of City of Lies, Cor- ruption and Cover-Up in the Notorious BIG Murder Investigation,” was pub- lished in 2019. Sullivan said he hopes a result is to see the wrong- ful-death case fi led by Big- gie’s mother, Voletta Wal- lace, against Los Angeles reopened. Wallace could seek $1 billion in damages. Sullivan thinks she can win. “Absolutely, the only hope is this lawsuit,” he said. “That’s all that’s left. (Wallace) will win if they get it past the 9th Circuit, which would have to rule to reopen it. I think there’s enough for a criminal con- viction, and certainly enough to win a civil trial. “LAPD has such political power. It is the most politi- cally connected and power- ful police department in the country, even the New York City Police Department,” he added. “They control the local agenda to an incredi- ble degree. Even through all this, the Black Lives Matter movement, they still have had the power to scare peo- ple. They still haven’t felt the repercussions for this.” Easter bunny back for photos, egg hunt Seaside Signal Families can join the Sun- set Empire Park and Rec- reation District on Satur- day, April 3, from 10 a.m. to noon at Broadway Field for the district’s community egg hunt.
