The L.A. political world is stunned by Mark Ridley-Thomas indictment.
When state Assemblyman Sebastian Ridley-Thomas resigned suddenly in December, it marked an abrupt halt to a promising political career.Hours before the indictment became public, a Times reporter spoke with Ridley-Thomas about a new homelessness policy, which he had been integral in drafting. During that call, the veteran politician gave no indication that anything was amiss. He said he planned to attend a campaign event for Rep. Karen Bass this weekend.
Former Los Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander was arrested in March 2020 on charges of obstructing an investigation into cash and other gifts that he received in casinos in Las Vegas and near Palm Springs. He later pleaded guilty to a single charge of lying to federal authorities and was sentenced to 14 months in prison.
Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, called the indictment a “devastating legal and community tragedy for L.A.'s Black electorate and his constituents.”
