L.A. District Attorney Steve Cooley called into KFI's John and Ken to comment on his meeting with Jamiel Shaw, Sr, and responded to Shaw's claims that the prosecuting attorney Michele Hanisee tried to impinge upon his first amendment rights by trying to have Mr. Shaw stop his talk of Jamiel's Law publicly, and if he dropped it; the prosecutor wouldn't make claims that Shaw, Jr. had gang affiliations.
Shaw, Sr. immediately was on KFI, KABC, KRLA radio shows telling his story and saying he was going to demand the prosecutor be pulled from the case and replaced with someone else.
Cooley started off the call to John and Ken by letting the people know that the prosecutor (Michele Hanisee) was replaced by two attorneys including Bobby Grace (who won a high profile case recently) and Helene Danadina.
Cooley says that he in no way, shape or form communicated this message to Michelle and says that she didn't say this and that he felt there was a communication breakdown.
Cooley went on to say, perhaps she was referring to not wanting to have the case moved to San Francisco(change of venue) if Shaw kept talking about Jamiel's Law, because it's possible it could become such a high profile political case, it's possible it could have to be moved, but said that isn't important compared to first amendment rights.
But here's what some folks have been waiting for:
Regarding the issue of police enforcement and Special Order 40 related issues, L.A. D.A. Steve Cooley said the issue needs "serious reform" and "serious retroflection." And said the City needed, "to make the improvements long overdue."
Regarding Jamiel's Law, Cooley said, "it seems a little broad, but is probably a model for the city to look at."
He also talked a bunch of legalese that backs up what ZD has been saying, that Special Order 40 already has what is needed to start doing the job people want done (regarding Jamiel's Law). It's a matter of enforcing what is already written.
Shaw Sr. is happy that Cooley made the replacement and added, "I could tell he (Cooley) was fair."
