Letters to the Editor: ‘Measure A (for Alex?)’ — Sheriff Villanueva’s legacy in L.A. County
Sheriff Tom K. Villanueva had his chance when he was elected sheriff in 2005, a chance he squandered for years and years.

The district attorney’s office and the Attorney General’s office have not returned our calls about this matter.
Wawzenski and his partner were indicted for perjury, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice in the Jones case.
The charges relate to the deputy’s false testimony about what evidence he had and that he “might” have obtained.
The deputy was fired and Wawzenski was indicted, but
