Orange County Deputies Cleared in Laguna Niguel Shooting
The Orange County District Attorney’s office (OCDA) has vindicated two police officers who were under investigation for a fatal Laguna Niguel shooting.
In a letter to Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes, OCDA Todd Spitzer said the deputies’ use of force was consistent with the law.
The letter included a report prepared by Senior Deputy District Attorney Janine Madera, stating that the officer’s actions were justified under the circumstances.
