State Refuses To Name Informers In Court Ruling Fallout
Albert Zamacoma walked free after a Superior Court ruling forced police to disclose undercover informant names only when defendants demand them in narcotics cases. Los Angeles Harbor Officer Edgar P. Brown testified he found five heroin capsules on Zamacoma July 24. Brown identified four informants, including the mother of a teenage user, tied to the arrest in a San Pedro doctor’s office. Public Defender J Raymond Cullum demanded informant names. Brown refused. Judge Beach Vasey agreed to strike the informant testimony, finding Zamacoma not guilty, while Lt. Jack Kirschke defended the informant system as vital to policing narcotics.
