A JUDGE IS EXPECTED TO ISSUE A RULING LATER THIS MONTH ON WHETHER DISTRICT ATTORNEY KARI BRANDENBURG SHOULD BE DISQUALIFIED FROM PROSECUTING TWO APD OFFICERS CHARGED WITH MURDER. A HEARING WAS HELD THURSDAY BEFORE DISTRICT JUDGE ALISA HADFIELD. FORMER COP KEITH SANDY AND CURRENT OFFICER DOMINIQUE PEREZ ARE CHARGED IN THE SHOOTING OF JAMES BOYD IN THE FOOTHILLS LAST YEAR.
THEIR ATTORNEYS SAY BRANDENBURG HAS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST SINCE SHE’S THE SUBJECT OF A BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
