Re: Charges dropped against 4 in SF cop killing (AP)
The state attorney general's office dismissed the charges against Henry Jones, 73, Ray Boudreaux, 66, Richard Brown, 68, and Harold Taylor, 60, the alleged ex-members of the Black Liberation Army accused of killing Sgt. John V. Young during an attack on San Francisco's Ingleside police station in the summer of 1971. A civilian clerk also was injured.
"Certainly, the state's decision was unexpected," said Jones' defense attorney, John Philipsborn. He added, "Our hope all along, especially for the four whose cases were dismissed, was that there was not enough evidence to pursue cases against them." A spokesman for California Attorney General Jerry Brown's office declined to comment Monday on why the charges were dropped. The attorney general's office agreed to take over the case from police in 2005. |
