California DA's fatal police shooting probe took 10 years
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California district attorney's investigation of a police officer's fatal shooting of an unarmed man languished for more than a decade before completion, a newspaper reported Monday.
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley acknowledged her office failed to finalize its investigation of the Dec. 31, 2007, shooting in Oakland and notify the city's police department of its conclusions until last week, The East Bay Times reported.
The district attorney's policy is to investigate and report the results of every fatal police shooting in its jurisdiction.
