FAIR END IN KEY POLICE ABUSE CASE
From El Monte to Torrance to the LAPD's Rampart Division, police are
increasingly being held to account for abuses of their considerable powers.
This development has many roots, and one surely is the 1992 slaying of
Donald P. Scott, killed when Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies raided
his Ventura County ranch.
News that Los Angeles County and the federal government have tentatively
agreed to pay $5 million to Scott's survivors brings vindication to those
who insisted from the start that the raid should never have taken place.
Early that October morning, 27 law enforcement agents, allegedly acting on
a tip that up to 4,000 marijuana plants were growing there, raided the
reclusive millionaire's Trail's End Ranch, just across the Ventura County
line from Malibu. Scott, 61, brandishing a handgun after being startled
awake, was shot fatally by the deputy in charge.
The shooting was held to be justifiable, but no marijuana was found.
