L.A. County will pay $27 million to settle shooting, wrongful conviction lawsuits against Sheriff’s Department
On June 28, 1997, Mike Tyson infamously chomped off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear in the third round of the heavyweight boxing championship. Nearly three decades later, John Klene and Eduardo Dumbrique — then 18 and 15 — remember exactly where they were when it happened: They were at Klene’s family home watching the fight, surrounded by friends.
She later sued the Police Department, saying the detective who handled the case knew a key witness against Mellen was “a habitual liar,” but failed to disclose that to the defense. The city ultimately agreed to pay her $12 million. When the case against Klene and Dumbrique went to trial, the tire store owner testified he couldn’t identify them as the perpetrators. But prosecutors told the court that he’d recanted out of fear. The teens were both found guilty.
