No crime for offering payoffs to city officials ruled
Los Angeles Superior Court ruled that offering bribes to city executives is not a crime when the target is not a state officer. The case involved Trude Neeley and an indictment against Herbert Mariner, a State Bar investigator, with alleged payoffs to Deputy Mayor John T. Irwin City Atty Roger Arneburgh and Deputy City Atty Boyd Taylor to license bingo in Venice. The defense demurred, and the judge said the indictment was invalid as the named officials were not state officers. Appeals were filed and the grand jury to consider new indictments under other statutes. Ernest Roll prepared to pursue additional charges under Section 6714 and 633K to address the bribery and solicitation elements.
