Waiting on Wilson

Rall v. Tribune 365 LLC, No. B284566 (D2d8 Jan. 17, 2019)

In 2015, a Cartoonist and blogger for the Los Angeles Times wrote a blog post complaining about the way an LAPD officer treated him during a jaywalking stop back in 2001. That must peeved the LAPD pretty bad. Because the cops dug up evidence that the stop—fourteen years in the past—didn’t go down the way Cartoonist claimed and gave it to the Times. The Times did its own investigation. It decided that Cartoonist wasn’t playing it straight. The Times ultimately published a statement and a report of its investigation. It cut ties with Cartoonist and stopped publishing his work.
