The L.A. County D.A.'s office replaced the prosecutors after they began preparing a motion to remove Grossman's new attorney because of a conflict of interest.
The Los Angeles County district attorney's office has taken the highly unusual step of removing the prosecutors who convicted Rebecca Grossman of double murder, outraging the parents of the two young boys she killed in a Westlake Village crosswalk. Dist. Atty.
Dameron, however, said there is. He wrote in his email to Iniguez that the removal of the prosecutors came after a proposed motion to remove Spertus from the case, arguing that Grossman cannot waive any conflict. Spertus' motion for a new trial could contain an allegation of malicious prosecution — something alleged by Grossman's former defense attorney, Tony Buzbee — and that would involve Teran's decisions and place Spertus in direct conflict with his client, Dameron said.
