About this listen

Michael Schwartz is a veteran defense attorney with over 30 years of trial experience, widely known for representing law enforcement officers in high-profile use-of-force and on-duty shooting cases throughout Southern California. Over his career he has secured full acquittals in some of the most closely watched excessive-force prosecutions, including the manslaughter trial of a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy, federal excessive-force charges for a Pomona corporal, and other defenses in nationally publicized on-duty shootings that drew intense media attention. Schwartz gives his reaction to the fatal shooting of Minneapolis resident Renée Good by an ICE agent and the death of Alex Pretti.
