Orange County Grand Jury Report Sees Ongoing Problems in Sheriff's Evidence Handling

In the wake of a 2018 scandal stemming from the Orange County Sheriff’s mishandling of evidence, which resulted in charges being dismissed in 67 cases, the sheriff has worked to get its act together. But a Grand Jury report released this week concludes that there is still work to be done. In particular, the report calls for implementation of auditing and spot checks to prevent further problems, as well as better training for deputies around evidence booking facilities.
