Lnuronco M. Powoi
Charged with three counts ... 28
yeurs old ... A Ji^-ycar velerun of Ihe
Los Angeles police ... Faces a police
inquiry into un allegation by two
black college students that he made
racial slurs and physically abused
them last month.
gation is complete as to all officers who
were present at the scene of the crime,
we have asked for immediate indictments of the four officers who personally assaulted Mr. King, including the
supervisory sergeant." Mr. Reiner
said.
At a news conference on Thursday,
Police Chief Daryl F. Gates said the
District Attorney's office had told him
it was continuing to investigate the conduct of the other 11 officers, but that it
was not clear even to the prosecutors j
what charges they might bring against
them.
Ms. Gibbons said. "We are going
back and calling witnesses and
presenting additional evidence in an attempt to determine if any of the other
officers at the scene should be charged
wilh any type of crime."
Legal experts said such charges
might include aiding and abetting a
crime or being an accessory after the
fact.
F.B.I. Inquiry Continues
Asked if evidence in the case had
also been presented to a Federal grand
jury. Carol Levitzky, a spokeswoman
for the United Stales Attorney's office
here, said. "The F.B.I, is continuing to
conduct its investigation."
Deputy District Attorney Terry
White, who is prosecuting the case, said
Sergeant Koon had not taken an active
part in the beating but faced the full
penalty on the charges because he had
sided and abetted the beating.
Mr. White said that if Sergeant Koon
and Officer Powell were convicted they
could be sentenced to a maximum of
seven years and eight months in
prison, and that Officers Briseno and
wind faced maximum four-year sentences.
Except In the case of Officer Briseno,
who used his feet but not his police
baton, he said the deadly weapons involved in the charges were batons and
feet
'The Most Grevlous Error'
Mayor Tom Bradley, a former police
officer who is himself black, praised
the work of the grand Jury.
"The three officers, clearly with the!
use of their batons and with their feet,;
left no doubt in anybody's mind about!
the charges that should be levied
against them," he said. "The sergeant
at the scene, who above all else was responsible for maintaining control over'
his officers at the scene, in my Judgment committed the most grievous
error of not Intervening and stopping]
that conduct."
As he has in recent days, the Mayon
declined to join the growing calls for]
the resignation of Chief Gates, who is a;
Civil Service appointee and can only In-
removed through slow and complex
government procedures.
But he said he had iried several
timet to have the law changed to allow
him to remove heads of city departments.
Referring to the beating incident, he
added, "I have never seen, nor heard,
the intensity, the sense of furor, lhat
people have expressed, not just In this
city."
On Thursday, Attorney General
Richard Thornburgh ordered the Justice Department's civil rights division
to open a review of every police brutality complaint to the Federal Government over the last six years.
