7. Thank you so much for responding. I do seem to recall reading earlier today that the 911

call -- the one where stolen cigarillos were specifically referenced -- happened at a time when it would have been physically impossible for Wilson to have heard its broadcast. (Apparently he was at some other call and outside his vehicle at the time.)

As to the parallel federal investigation, after the 4 LAPD officers were found innocent in Simi Valley in the assault on Rodney King, the Feds then prosecuted the LAPD officers successfully on federal civil rights violations of Rodney King (after riots had convulsed LA). I don't recall 'racial profiling' entering into the prosecution of those 4 LAPD officers, so I don't think that's the only grounds for which the Feds could be running their parallel inquiry. But that was over 20 years ago and my memories have grown somewhat dim since then.

IANAL as you can probably tell, so I'm learning a lot of this material as I go, hence my questions. This discussion would be immensely helped by someone who knows the laws and is also a good writer. While I can only make faint claims to the latter, I can make none to the former.
