Former L.A. city attorney's office lawyer pleads guilty to federal charge in DWP billing case
LOS ANGELES -- A former senior lawyer in the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office on Tuesday pleaded guilty to a federal charge connected to lawsuits involving the 2014 Department of Water and Power billing system debacle.
Sentencing was set for Aug. 2, but the hearing could be postponed, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The defendant's plea agreement is the fourth prosecutors have obtained in the investigation involving the period in 2014 when DWP faced multiple class-action lawsuits over the flawed rollout of a new billing system - and the city was shoring up its response.
