When I learned this morning that University of Hawaii President David Lassner had nominated Craig Angelos to be the next athletic director, my reaction was: “Who is this guy? Never heard of him.”
When Jawaun Fraser was charged for robbery in October 2014, the New York Police Department and Manhattan prosecutors never told him that his arresting officers had been targeted in dozens of civil lawsuits over alleged evidence fabrication, abuse of power and other misconduct. Now, after a $2 million civil rights verdict last month over the disclosure failures, Fraser's case could lead to new legal challenges for criminal cases in the city.
