Next Friday for Arcadia Rotary’s off site meeting at the Santa Anita Golf course our speaker is Alan Jackson, Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County’s Major Crimes Unit.

Most of us are familiar with one of Los Angeles County’s riveting case revolving around two trials for Music Producer Phil Spector! Traditionally Los Angeles has had trouble convicting Celebrities. Think back to OJ, Robert Blake and many others. This time Alan Jackson and Co Deputy District Attorney Truc Do successfully prosecuted Phil Spector and received a conviction of second degree murder in the 2003 death of actress Lana Clarkson.

Alan Jackson is responsible for handling high profile and extraordinary cases. He is a seasoned prosecutor who thrives on arguing cases in court. After receiving his J.D., he worked with a small firm doing civil legal work but his experience in private practice only fueled his desire to work as a prosecutor.

He spent more than five years in the Hardcore Gang Division before being promoted to the Major Crimes Division in 2004. This article could be many pages long but come this Friday and here it straight from Alan yourself!
