On Wednesday, March 6, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge rejected the county's request that he order L.A. Sheriff Alex Villanueva to kick Deputy Caren Carl Mandoyan off the force. The judge did not dismiss the case, however; the next hearing is set for June 26. Frank Stoltze discusses the latest developments.
