Show Notes

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer settles whistleblower lawsuit for $2.75 million. Jennifer Kearns, a veteran sex crimes investigator, accused Spitzer of undermining a high-profile rape case against Grant Robicheaux and Cerissa Riley. The case, which gained international attention, was marred by disputes over evidence and politics, ultimately resulting in most charges being dropped. The settlement comes after a judge removed local prosecutors from the case and handed it to the state attorney general. Robicheaux pleaded guilty to minor charges, while Riley walked free. The payout raises questions about justice in politically charged cases.
