A blood feud rocks O.C. law enforcement with claims of 'dirty cop,' 'corrupt' D.A.
Briefly

In Orange County, a prolonged and public feud has erupted between District Attorney Todd Spitzer and former investigator Damon Tucker. For over seven years, both have accused one another of unethical conduct and corruption. Tucker's lawsuit claims he discovered evidence of severe crimes committed by Spitzer, including money laundering and extortion, but faced retaliation. Meanwhile, Spitzer has labeled Tucker as a 'dirty cop' and has accused him of collusion with political enemies. The conflict escalates as Tucker requests state and federal investigations, emphasizing the urgency for accountability within the justice system.
"For over seven years now, Orange County's top prosecutor and a decorated former cop have been locked in an acrimonious dispute that shows little sign of abating."
"Damon Tucker...alleged in a lawsuit that he uncovered potential evidence of money laundering, terrorist threats and extortion by his then-boss, Orange County Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer."
"Spitzer has publicly called Tucker a 'dirty cop,' and accused him of working with his opponents...to launch an investigation to hurt him politically."
