Brian Liddy LAPD Officer Brian Liddy was one of the first police officers charged with criminal wrongdoing based upon Rafael Perez's
allegations. Liddy and three other officers, were charged with making false arrests, filing false arrest reports and conspiracy
to obstruct justice. In November 2000, Liddy and two other officers were found guilty of the false reporting and conspiracy
charges. But the trial judge, concerned about the sufficiency of evidence and the basis for the jury verdict, overturned the
verdict -- a decision prosecutors have appealed.
Marion "Suge" Knight The founder of Death Row Records, Marion "Suge" Knight was imprisoned in October 1996 for violating his
parole on a 1994 assault conviction. The FBI has for several years been investigating the activities of Knight, Death Row
and its business associates. Knight, who grew up in Compton, has long had ties to his home turf gang, the Piru Bloods. Beginning
in 1996, LAPD investigators became concerned that off-duty police officers were working security for Death Row and associating
with known gang members, concerns that were heightened by the investigation of Kevin Gaines following his shooting death.
