Judges cleared in bid to sway Sylmar rulings
Two Los Angeles Municipal Court judges faced accusations of pressuring Long Beach Judge George Trammell III to drop charges in the Sylmar tunnel explosion trial. The California Commission on Judicial Qualifications cleared the judges, stating the misconduct claims were unfounded. Trammell had reported the attempts to influence him during the 1971 case against Lockheed Shipbuilding & Construction Co. and related parties. The trial ended with convictions for gross negligence and safety violations.
