LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A skateboarder won a round in court today when a judge ruled that Sheriff Alex Villanueva will remain a defendant in the
plaintiff s lawsuit claiming he was falsely imprisoned by two deputies allegedly associated with an internal clique at the Compton station known as the Executioners.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Linfield denied a motion by Villanueva s attorneys to dismiss a supervisory liability allegation in plaintiff Jesus Alegria s suit, the only claim in the case against the sheriff.
Alegria s suit also names as defendants Deputies Miguel Vega and Christopher Hernandez, who he alleges were prospects of the deputy clique known as the Executioners. The group casts innocent people as street gang members and sometimes brutalizes, shoots and kills them, then claims the actions were in self-defense, the suit alleges.
