One victim will not be suing personally: Juan Saldana, 21, was shot and left to bleed to death with a gun planted beside him. Every week over recent months it has seemed that a gang member, usually Latino, has emerged from prison with tales of beatings and plantings. One of the very worst cases was that of Javier Ovando, who was allegedly shot and paralysed by Perez and his fellow officer, Nino Durden. The officers then accused Ovando of attempted murder and he was jailed for 23 years, with the judge chiding him for his lack of remorse.
Ovando is out now and will be compensated but will not walk again. The police union, the Police Protection League, has claimed that Perez was a rogue cop and was only implicating his colleagues to save his own skin.

But morale among officers has slumped. They say they are now so concerned about being accused of framing or beating gang members that they spend their hours on duty avoiding trouble. This may be the reason for the recent rise in gang shootings, and the renewed activity among the more than gangs and 60, gang members in the city. There is a heavy political undertow in LA to accusations that the police have abused their power.
In , 54 people died after the riots that followed the acquittal of officers caught on video beating Rodney King.

In , in the Watts section of LA, it was police action against an alleged drink driver that led to the riots in which 34 died. This time the city wants to show that it is acting properly, and hence the Los Angeles district attorney, Gil Garcetti, has initiated the prosecutions. Liddy, Buchanan and two other officers, Paul Harper and Edward Ortiz, accused of conspiring to pervert or obstruct justice, are the first fruits of Mr Garcetti's labours. And as their trial comes to its conclusion, there is a political dimension: Mr Garcetti is running for re-election next Tuesday.
A conviction would help his credibility and an acquittal would pose questions about his judgment. This week has come a new twist: Perez is not giving evidence as planned because his ex-girlfriend has now claimed that he and a fellow rogue officer, David Mack, had killed a drug dealer and his mother and had buried their bodies in a rubbish tip in Tijuana, Mexico. The Mexican police found no remains.
Perez is duly "pleading the fifth" - refusing to give evidence in case he incriminates himself in a double murder. But whatever happens in this case, the ramifications are already being felt throughout the city.
