LA City Attorney declines to charge couple who recorded 2021 racist conversation, insufficient evidence for charges.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's office will not file criminal charges against Santos Leon and Karla Vasquez, a couple investigated for unlawfully recording a racist conversation among four Latino Democrats in 2021. The leaked recording led to City Council President Nury Martinez's resignation in 2022. Despite evidence suggesting a crime, the city attorney stated there was insufficient proof to meet the constitutional standard for charges.
