According to the minutes of the Board of Supervisors on July 18, 2018, Ridley-Thomas "voted to approve a renewed Telehealth contract to USC on the expanded terms requested by Flynn," Fischer wrote.
Fischer explained that a conviction can be reversed on the conditions that the prosecution knowingly presented false evidence or testimony at trial and there is a reasonable likelihood that the false evidence or testimony could have affected the judgment of the jury. As for two other purported false statements, the court found that defense counsel asked questions "that virtually invited Adkins to provide his own interpretation of the evidence he had found" and "his views on the case were appropriately allowed in the context in which they were elicited."Ridley-Thomas' representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Defense attorneys argued there was no bribery. The money was channeled from the father to his son's organization in such a way to avoid the appearance of "nepotism," Ridley-Thomas' attorneys argued in court documents, and there was no benefit to the USC dean as a result.
