"Wearing an orange jumpsuit, Proctor, 60, leaned over several times to whisper to his attorney but otherwise said little during the hearing, a portion of which was held behind closed doors. He waived a reading of the indictment. He will remain in custody with no bail, and is expected to return to court for a hearing early next month. Proctor's lawyer, Anthony "Tony" Garcia, said he would reserve comment until he'd had a chance to review the case."
"But he questioned the timing of the charges, which came more than a decade after the incident in question. The L.A. County District Attorney's office reviewed the case when it was fresh and "determined there was nothing to proceed," Garcia said. Proctor was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport last week when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents noticed he had an active warrant."
Los Angeles County prosecutors unsealed an indictment charging former LAPD officer Clifford Proctor with murder for the 2015 on-duty shooting of unarmed Brendon Glenn in Venice. Proctor pleaded not guilty, waived reading of the indictment, and will remain in custody without bail. He was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport after U.S. Customs agents noticed an active warrant and has lived abroad for several years; he resigned from the department in 2017. Glenn, 29, and his dog had been kicked out of the Bank of Venice restaurant before a dispute with Proctor. Defense counsel questioned the timing of charges, saying the district attorney's office had earlier reviewed the case and determined there was nothing to proceed.
