Christmas Cold-Case DNA Killer Of Boyle Heights Bar Owner Gets 22 Years: ‘I am so sorry'
The Christmas season killer of a 71-year-old Boyle Heights bar owner who was stabbed 104 times apologized Monday to the victim's family before being sentenced to 22 years in state prison for the DNA-linked cold-case 2001 crime. “I am so sorry,” he told the family in court almost 16 years after the “horrific” crime. Hugo Lara, 44, pleaded no contest earlier this month to voluntary manslaughter with gang and gun enhancements in the stabbing death of Alfredo Trevino. Lara is already serving a 13-year prison sentence for a 2008 second- degree robbery conviction. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edmund W. Clarke Jr. ordered the terms to run consecutively.

Charges Dismissed Against USC Student Accused of Drugging, Raping Fellow Student
Charges were dismissed against a 20-year-old USC student who was accused of drugging and raping a fellow student in her campus dorm after video of her with the former suspect outside a bar showed her making a sexual gesture to a friend. Surveillance video shared for the first time Monday shows the interaction between the woman and Armann Karim Premjee inside the Banditos bar near the USC campus. "She put her arms on my neck, started kissing me," he said. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael E. Pastor dismissed a count of rape by use of drugs after hearing evidence at a preliminary hearing last week. A second count of sexual penetration by a foreign object was dropped by Deputy District Attorney Lana Kim partway through the hearing, Premjee's attorney said. A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman says officers presented the video to the Los Angeles County District Attorney when they filed the charges. The DA's Office says the case would not be refiled.

Inquiries About Immigration Status Will Be Barred In Most Civil Liability Cases Under A New California Law
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill Monday that makes a plaintiff's immigration status irrelevant to the issue of liability in civil cases involving consumer protection, civil rights, labor and housing laws. Assembly Bill 1690, written by Assemblyman Mark Stone (D-Scotts Valley), prevents inquiries into a person's immigration status in civil court, unless there is clear and convincing evidence that such a query is necessary to comply with federal immigration law. The legislation, which was backed by the Consumer Attorneys of California, immigration rights groups and several public policy centers, was meant to clarify current state law, which states that all civil protections, rights and remedies are available under state law, except if banned by federal law.

Los Angeles Reaches Deal With Olympic Leaders For 2028 Games
Los Angeles has reached an agreement with International Olympic leaders that will open the way for the city to host the 2028 Summer Games, while ceding the 2024 Games to rival Paris, officials announced Monday. The deal would make LA a three-time Olympic city, after hosting the 1932 and 1984 Games. With the agreement, the city is taking “a major step toward bringing the Games back to our city for the first time in a generation,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement. He called it a “historic day for Los Angeles, for the United States” and the Olympic movement. The agreement follows a vote earlier this month by the International Olympic Committee to seek an unusual deal to award the 2024 and 2028 Games simultaneously.
