The Orange County Grand Jury is pushing for an independent audit of the Sheriff’s Department to ensure that evidence is not continuing to be mishandled by deputies.
The grand jury’s report, released this week, delves into the much-publicized evidence mishandling scandal, where Orange County sheriff’s deputies were found to have booked evidence late or failed to book evidence at all and subsequently lied about it in reports.
“Ultimately, the only way to know if the evidence booking issue has been resolved is through an impartial third-party verification,” the report says. “An independent audit of department reports submitted after March 2018 would confirm that the new policies and procedures are being followed.”

THE BUZZ IT’S COMING: Don’t be surprised if Gov. Gavin Newsom decides to deliver California’s Hanukkah/Christmas gift this week and roll out his choice for the Senate seat held by Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
If the much-anticipated appointment comes, as some insiders expect, during the holiday period, when news is typically slow, it could provide Newsom with a buffer, turning the page on the narrative from the last few weeks (see: the French Laundry debacle) and giving the many who doubtless won’t agree with his choice time to vent and get over it. And then he can put the “annus horribilis” 2020 in the rearview mirror and get on with 2021.
