Looks like the two ladies involved in the first police shooting have already lawyered up. Both Emma Hernandez, 71, and her daughter, 47 year old Margie Carranza, have retained attorney Glen T. Jonas, and they’ll soon be filing charges against detectives from the LAPD Hollywood devision, who were reportedly on a protective detail for an LAPD captain and his family named in Dorner’s manifesto.

As I write this post, Christopher Dorner, a former LAPD officer suspected of killing three people, is still at large. Yesterday, thousands of police offices throughout Southern California and neighboring states searched for the man who warned in a lengthy manifesto that he would target those in the LAPD who had wronged him. Police went so far as to place more than 40 “protection details” on alert for those threatened by Dorner in his manifesto, and also pulled officers from motorcycle duty, fearing they would make for easy targets.
“I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty,” said the manifesto. It also asserted: “Unfortunately, I will not be alive to see my name cleared. That’s what this is about, my name. A man is nothing without his name.”









Given the latest hearing outcomes, it is perhaps prudent to go back and look at the October hearing once again, to visit what was being said about DeeDee, and the recording of her, by Trayvon Family Attorney Benjamin Crump; In court, to Nelson, in October.
