In a 16-page court filing, an attorney for L.A. City Councilman Curren Price argued prosecutors have failed to back up the 10 counts of perjury, embezzlement and conflict of interest they filed earlier this year.
In the most full-throated defense yet against charges of perjury and embezzlement, a lawyer for L.A. City Councilman Curren Price has argued that a shoddy investigation by prosecutors failed to prove the veteran Democrat had a conflict of interest in votes he cast between 2019 and 2021.
Price's lawyer called the connections between Price and the companies who had paid Richardson Price 'gossamer thin,' noting in his court filing that the votes in which Price is charged with having a conflict were not controversial. Each measure would have passed with or without Price's vote, records show.
