Burke won't be charged for residency

Now that she's the lamest of political ducks, the DA's office has decided not to prosecute Supervisor Yvonne Burke for allegedly living in Brentwood — outside her district — while claiming to reside in a town house in Mar Vista. Burke had refused to talk to prosecutors about the issue, and her stonewall worked. "It's not really about residency; it's about whether or not they lied on any particular documents," chief deputy DA Dave Demerjian told the Times.
