By David E. Mastagni and Taylor Davies-Mahaffey In 2019, a California appeals court held that Proposition 57 allowed those convicted of multiple violent and nonviolent crimes to qualify for early release after serving only the sentence for one of the nonviolent crimes. The California Supreme Court found that the language in Proposition 57 was ambiguous and, upon reviewing ballot materials, concluded that the initiative did not require the early release of violent felons. Voters were told that Pr...

The all-day meet included athletes from frosh/soph and varsity teams. From the field events to the races, it was a very...
UCLA Bruins forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. called their final regular season game at home with the USC Trojans, “do or die for us, and we’re going to give it everything we’ve got to try to get that win.” It was a game that would decide tournament seeding for both schools and with the Bruins having lost five straight games to the Trojans, Bruin pride was on the line as well. The losing streak was the longest in men’s basketball versus the Trojans since World War II. For Jaquez Jr., that was all he ne...
A dramatic equalizer in the waning minutes by LAFC against the visiting Portland Timbers felt like a victory at Banc of California Stadium on Sunday night. The game-tying tap-in by defender Mamadou Fall from a brilliant run and pass by forward Brian Rodriguez during second half stoppage time gave the Black and Gold a much-deserved 1-1 result. "It's great," said Steve Cherundolo, now with one win and one draw after his first two matches as LAFC's head coach. "I love it and relish that it's a...
By Alex Hymes Sports Reporter For the second match of their fifth season, LAFC hosted what some call their "greatest rival" in the Portland Timbers for a late, fifty-five degree Sunday evening match-up. What nobody expected was the diverting styles and aggressive play which were on full display. Portland's Yimmi Chara stunned the crowd early, by corralling a ricocheted ball with an acrobatic bicycle kick for the match's opening score. On the over end, Portland's defense smothered LAFC mightily,...

Dear Editor, When we purchased our home in Culver City in 2015 there were many reasons why: proximity to work and family, a location that afforded a walkable lifestyle with plenty of parks and very important while expecting a child - a highly regarded school district. This was our first home, but even in 2015 we thought of the purchase as a forever home, not a starter, given the explosive growth in California home costs happening then and before that have only accelerated. Now with our first...
By Jeff Prang Los Angeles County Assessor This month I’m going to share information about a delicate subject, but also a very important one---dealing with property taxes and what should be done upon the death of a property owner. Needless to say, the death of a loved one is a traumatic event, to say nothing of putting their affairs in order - dealing with inheritance, insurance, finances, and property. The following information generally covers what needs to be done if they owned property in L...
By Amber Jackson, Lucky Lifer As the days go by, I never cease to be fascinated by the dynamics of prison staff behavior. I've learned so much about the psychology of human behaviors. And the more I learn, the more I want to know. I've become a bit if a mentalist throughout my prison journey. I'm obsessed with watching people and discerning why they do whatever they do. Prison staff are an endless source of material to study. At first thought you might assume that prisoners might be more interesting to watch. On the contrary, I assure you,...

The CDC updates its county-level data every Thursday. It...
