Counting Crime
John and KPCC law and order reporter Frank Stoltze attend LA's annual crime statistics news conference. Chief Bratton and Mayor Villaraigosa say crime is down, but they're fighting to keep cops from being cut from the budget.
The conference called for no cuts and an increase in LAPD cops on the street. (L-R) D.A. Steve Cooley (red tie); embattled City Atty. Rocky Delgadillo (looking stoic); the Mayor; Councilman Jack Weiss (with devil eyes), who wants Delgadillo's job; Chief Bill Bratton (with badge).
