Happening today, the Berkeley City Council will consider changes to the Police Departments use of force policy. Right now the city requires the department to file reports if someone is injured, a weapon is used or someone filed a complaint against the department.

Reporter chor ng has kept a low profile , so have her kids, kai ng and eva ng. Many former tenants say they managed the warehouse and adjoining properties. They collected rent and received complaints. Especially about problems with the electrical system. The tenants say there was a lot going on and you ignore them. What you have to say to them . In fact, they were made aware of an electrical fire two years earlier. This invoice obtained explains a transformer was doused, 911 never called and 32,000 in repairs were needed. This was sent to the ng. The diagnosis was three buildings on a single transformer, severely and catastrophically overloading. And deferred maintenance dating back decades required Immediate Intervention to avoid additional fires. Defense attorneys representing the two men say the ng refused to make repairs. The owner is absolutely responsible for the lives and the 36 people lost. Reporter attorney Curtis Briggs believes Derick Almena and max harris are taking the fall for others negligence. Police had been to the warehouse before. Records show they were there eight times for disputes among those who live there. Officers knew but the illegal living once on.

California law said a land owner must maintain the tropic property to prevent unreasonable risk of harm. Stating everyone is responsible not only for the result of willful acts and also for an injury. Its a key point in a major civil suit calling out the ngs. What about the families . Dont you feel like you are responsible . You own the place. Dont you have anything to say . Reporter Derick Almena had something to say in february 2015 when he brought up the electrical system again. Writing a year of delays in dangerous complications. I would have you the owner and landlord, the ultimate benefactor at the onset of any electrical issues take the school action. This was not your course.

She told investigators that were electrical issues starting in 2008 and contacted eva ng but became frustrated because the problems were never addressed. After 13 years, moved her business in 2014 because no repairs were made. Is a prosecutor, do you see any reason why you would not go after the owners . No, i dont. Reporter attorney Michael Cardoza used to be a proper a prosecutor. Hes not working his case but says he surprised the family has gone under the radar. If i were the trial attorney, i would look long and hard at charging the owner and her daughter, who was supposed to be the manager of the building, bringing them into court. Consolidating those cases. So you are trying all the defendants at once. And if they want to blame each other, let them do it in the same jury. That enhances the das prosecution. Reporter the da has never explained why the ngs have not been charged despite repeatedly asking. Prosecutors say is still an active case. No comment and since june, affording the question altogether. I will not take questions, speculative questions like that. Reporter the buildings owner said to get a hefty pale. Insurance money totaling 3 million covering the cost to the deadly fire.

Nothing to say at all . What does that say to you . She is a scumbag. Shes a scumbag and a killer. We as the public have a right to know. Why are you charging . Reporter the District Attorney could still charge the onus. That could bring some relief to the other defendants. You not only have to do justice but you need to give the appearance of doing justice. This is not the appearance of doing justice. The cause of the fire was never determined. Both defendants are due in court for a preliminary hearing in two weeks.
