Los Angeles: Due
to the high volume of calls generated in regards to reward distribution
in the Christopher Dorner case, the LAPD has written the following
statement:
Now that the search for Christopher Dorner has concluded, we are addressing the distribution of the $1 million reward. More than 20 jurisdictions and entities are involved in this reward, so all of them will be coming together to collectively determine whether any individual(s) qualify for it. Our personal hope is that the reward will be distributed, but we must follow the rules and respect the procedures of each entity.
Due to the large number of inquiries into the reward, the Mayor’s Office and the Los Angeles Police Department remind media outlets that reward monies cannot be distributed until the investigation is complete, which takes time. Final decisions on the dissemination of the reward on this case, as in all reward cases, will be made upon the completion of the investigation. Your patience is appreciated.

If you want the public to support you don;t mess around with the reward money. It should be split by the three people in Big Bear. The couple that was tied up and man who had his truck stolen. They both called 911.

Request that your department fire Sgt. Teresa Evans. People want that more than the reward -- and you know it. Thank you.

I think the reward ( One Million Dollars ) should be divided between the family's of the officers killed by Chris Dorner.

Leonard Hawthorne must know something we mere mortals don't know, since he wants Sgt. Evans fired on the word of a coward and self-absorbed murderer.
Whatever the LAPD's Board of Rights' decision is on a police officer's case before it, the officer has recourses. The courts. The first step is to take the board's decision to Superior Court. There the judge will review the investigation and the decision of the board. Many officers had their rights violated and the court made the LAPD correct those mistakes by giving the officer his/her job back. The court has also found in many cases, Dorner's being one of them, that the LAPD acted according to the law and the officer was found to have no case against his/her termination. This was the case with Dorner. If an officer still doesn't like the Superior Court's decision, it can be appealed to the Court of Appeals, where they will review the case yet again, and will review the Superior Court's decision. In Dorner's case, the Court of Appeals agreed with the Superior Court and upheld Dorner's termination.
I disagree with Chief Beck's cowtowing to a murderer, and the anti-police crowd who sees conspiracies everywhere, in re-opening Dorner's case.
Several judges have already settled the matter.

Has the LAPD considered donating the money to the victims of Dorner and their families? Good riddance to Dorner, he will not be missed.
