California city audits police after racist, hostile text messages circulates department
Fox News
A San Francisco Bay Area city will audit its police department after text messages showed California officers bragging about making up evidence and beating up suspects.
Defense attorney Ellen McDonnell has asked District Attorney Diana Becton to dismiss all cases involving the public defender’s office and Antioch police. Becton said she is reviewing cases for potential dismissal or resentencing. It's unclear how many cases are at stake.
"The public simply cannot have trust or confidence in any criminal prosecution involving the Antioch Police Department," McDonnell said in an email Wednesday. "No one should be charged with a crime based on the report of a police department so thoroughly riddled with corruption."
