Friday desk-clearing
- U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel in San Jose barred further executions in California, saying the state procedure for lethal injection "lacks both reliability and transparency."
- Superior Court Judge Dzintra Janavs sounded skeptical of the legal rationale for giving Mayor Villaraigosa (or anyone) full authority over some LAUSD schools. She basically asked what would stop the Legislature from handing schools over to LAPD chief Bill Bratton or DA Steve Cooley, the Times' Howard Blume reports. School Me's Bob Sipchen blogged live via Blackberry from the hearing.
- The plaintiffs have signed off on that $60 million settlement over sexual abuse with the Los Angeles Archdiocese.
- Reporters at yesterday's SCAG press conference were bemused to see City Council gadfly-candidate-blogger Zuma Dogg sign in as a press representative of the LA Weekly.
- The Angels traded reliever Brendan Donnelly to the Boston Red Sox, who also signed Angels' bullpen washout J.C. Romero.
