Some of UC pepper spraying report can be made public, judge rules
Source: Los Angeles Times
March 16, 2012 | 2:16 pm
An Alameda County Superior Court judge Friday partially denied a request by a campus police union to block a UC investigative report about the pepper-spraying of UC Davis student protesters in November -- clearing the way for university officials to release those portions of the report that don't address the conduct of specific officers.
But Judge Evelio Grillo granted the injunction barring dissemination of contested sections of the report pending another hearing March 28.
Grillo also ordered the Federated University Police Officers Assn. and UC attorneys pressing for the full release of the material to try to come to agreement on three other sections that counsel for the officers said they had not had time to sufficiently review.
.... (Updated at 4:49 p.m.: Attorneys for the campus police union said in court Friday that “more than three” officers were under investigation by Internal Affairs.) UC attorneys said in court Friday that "six to 10" officers are named in the report, including those who were witnesses to the incident and those who are under investigation.
