A freelance journalist in San Francisco whose home and office was raided by police earlier this month after he said he refused to give up a confidential source is now under investigation as a “possible co-conspirator” in an alleged criminal conspiracy to steal a confidential police report, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott announced Tuesday.
“We believe the line was crossed,” Scott said, describing Carmody as an “active participant” in a scheme to leak details about Adachi’s death. “We believe he took part in this act.” Scott also appeared to suggest Carmody may have sought to smear Adachi, alleging that he had expressed “disdain” for the public defender in an interview.
