Markowitz v. City of L.A. CA2/4
After his warrantless arrest in the front yard of his home, appellant Philip Markowitz filed this action against respondents, the City of Los Angeles and several officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). An ensuing jury trial resulted in a defense verdict. On appeal, appellant claims that the jury’s verdict was predicated on a finding that his arrest was lawful, but that the evidence compelled a contrary finding. He further argues that the trial court abused its discretion by permitting respondents to impeach his expert witness with information from the expert’s disciplinary record and by allowing his counsel only 45 minutes for closing argument. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
