Stephanie Lazarus, Sherri Rasmussen Case Heads To Trial



LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Stephanie Lazarus, Sherri Rasmussen case heads to trial next week. Stephanie Lazarus is accused of killing Sherri Rasmussen, her ex-boyfriend’s wife, in 1986. In 2009, LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus (Stephanie Ilene Lazarus) was arrested for a case that had remained unsolved for years. Today, jury selection began on her murder trial.

The death of Rasmussen remained unsolved since 1986. At the time, Mr. Rasmussen informed LAPD that Lazarus was his top suspect. But in 2009, DNA prompted support for prosecutor’s claims that Stephanie Lazarus killed Rasmussen; they assert Lazarus was angry about a love triangle. Police found Rasmussen beaten and shot inside her Van Nuys condo.

Lazarus did not know she was going to be interrogated. She thought she was being called in to talk about an art theft case under investigation.

John K. Dancler Film Video Prompts LA Parking Enforcement Traffic Officer Scandal


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – John K. Dancler appeared in an adult video while working as an LAPD Parking enforcement Traffic officer. The John K. Dancler and Vaughn Dorsey video scandal erupted last year. Now Dancler, who was fired for the video, wants his job back so he can keep on giving out parking tickets to Los Angeles residents.

News reporter Joel Grover caught up with John K. Dancler back last July. Grover asked John K. Dancler why did he appear in the scandal video, while on duty, with his uniform and city car. Dancler didn’t respond to news, but continued to give out more parking tickets as Grover watched.Grover revealed that, two months prior to his report, an internal memo from Jimmy Price, head of parking enforcement, had alerted officials of a possible officer using “city uniform and car on an inappropriate website”. The memo stated that the “city and department policy prohibit this conduct of misconduct on and off the job … they will receive disciplinary action, up to discharge.”

But at the time of Grover’s report, nothing had been done about the parking officers. “In my mind, it is misconduct” Price told Grover. But Price said “we were not able to positively identify the persons.”

Grover pursued the officials to act on the matter. “They didn’t call me back, and I called them two times!” Grover exclaimed in last year’s report. Eventually, John K. Dancler was put on
paid administrative leave, and then fired.

This week, John K. Dancler’s attorney appeared before the Los Angeles Civil Service Commission asking for Dancler’s job back. The second officer was disciplined, but kept on staff. Dancler thinks his client was wrongfully terminated and should be back on Los Angeles streets giving out parking tickets promptly.

The scandal video (edited) is located on NBC here.
