OC Stories to Watch in 2016
Three big Orange County stories will make national news in 2016.
2016 starts with three stories that roiled OC through last year. An informant scandal in the Orange County Jail has seen the Orange County District Attorney's Office thrown out of a high-profile death penalty case and led to legal scholars demanding a federal investigation. Long-time Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez's bid for a Senate seat has led to a group of Democratic politicians battling for her open seat. And in Anaheim, district elections are once again embroiled in controversy after the city council rejected a proposed voting map, sparking threats of yet another lawsuit. Which of these stories will draw the most national attention?
