Chief Bratton makes a finding in the Devin Brown killing, Guerdon Stuckey gets an offer, Richard Meruelo didn't lay a million on the Center for Law in the Public Interest, and more—including David Kipen on a flaw in Imdb.com, Joel Stein and another story on two-year-old Sarah Chavez (but still not in the Times.)
Also, participants at Richard Saul Wurman's high-priced get together The Entertainment Gathering, which opens tomorrow at the Skirball, include Jeffrey Katzenberg, Frank Gehry, Jon Stewart, Matt Groening, Ken Auletta, Nicholas Negroponte, Yo-Yo Ma, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Bratton and his wife Rikkie Klieman. It will only cost you $4,000 to go. If you can't decide, the event's home page offers to close the deal with two magic L.A. words in big red letters: Free Parking.

Slate: Today's Papers |
♦ The Times cites sources saying that Chief Bill Bratton has determined that last year's shooting of 13-year-old car theft suspect Devin Brown
was appropriate, setting up a public debate that is set to begin at today's Police Commission meeting.
♦ Sharon Waxman does 1900 words on the USC film school for the New York Times' occasional
Making Artists series.
♦ Fired chief of animal services Guerdon Stuckey could get a $50,000
consulting contract today from the city council, if he agrees to stop challenging his removal by Mayor Villaraigosa.
♦ Last week the Daily News made a bit of a deal about developer Richard Meruelo giving $1 million to the Center for Law in the Public Interest. Well, never mind. Today's DN runs a
correction saying the donation to an alliance of groups was discussed but never made.
♦ David Kipen catches the Internet Movie Database and Netflix
dissing screenwriters.
♦ Joel Stein shifts his column this week to Rocky Delgadillo's suit against virtual sex in video games.
♦ The Pasadena Star-News has an
update on how the county's Department of Children and Family Services failed to prevent the death of two-year-old Sarah Chavez. Still not a mention in the Times, despite extensive coverage by
In Los Angeles and on
KPCC plus discussion at the Board of Supervisors.
