David Ryu was sworn in yesterday as LA's first Korean-American City Councilman and the only the second member of Asian descent.  Ryu defeated an establishment favorite, and raised high expectations among supporters with his promise to be an "outsider."

Also, LA District Attorney Jackie Lacey takes on wrongful convictions.
