SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — An attorney says a third former officer from the Fullerton Police Department might be charged in the death of a mentally ill homeless man who died in 2011 after a confrontation with police.
The Orange County Register reports Vicki Podberesky, an attorney representing Joe Wolfe, says prosecutors notified her they will present evidence to a grand jury Wednesday to decide if Wolfe should be charged.
If indicted, Wolfe could stand trial in the death of Kelly Thomas, who died five days after a violent confrontation with six police officers at a transportation hub.
Former officer Manuel Ramos was charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Former Cpl. Jay Cicinelli was charged with involuntary manslaughter and excessive force.
Ramos and Cicinelli have filed motions to dismiss the charges against them.
