A judge ruled officers who exchanged racist text messages about suspects in two alleged gang-related shootings in 2021 would not need to take the stand to answer questions about racism in the department.
"It's my understanding that all the officers involved have been indicted," Goldstein said.
Goldstein also told prosecutor Jordan Sanders to be able to present enough evidence at the next hearing to convince him the full prosecution of the four men can move ahead, despite the District Attorney's Office concession of officers' bias. But attorney Mike Rains who represents the Antioch Police Officers’ Association said some officers have been unfairly targeted.
