The City of LA Pays Millions to Wrongfully Convicted Men

Hosted by

The City of Los Angeles will pay $24 million for the wrongful murder convictions of two men who spent years of their lives in prison because of proven misconduct by the LAPD. The City Attorney says going to court would cost even more.

Later on the program, California's Republican Party is a shadow of what it was when WWLA first went on the air 23 years ago. Its dramatic decline resulted, in part, from perceived hostility toward Latinos. Are GOP presidential candidates now leading the national party in a familiar direction?
