Prosecutors declined to file charges against a major Democratic donor, Ed Buck, in the case of Gemmel Moore, an African-American male escort found dead inside Buck’s West Hollywood mansion.
Fox News reports:
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said the “admissible evidence is insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt” that Buck gave Moore drugs or is responsible for his death in a document dated July 26 obtained by Fox News.
Moore, 26, was found by police on July 27, 2017, inside the apartment of Buck, 63. Buck, a well-known figure in LGBT political circles, has given more than $500,000 to a range of Democratic groups and candidates — including Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
The document also cited an inadmissible search and seizure, but did not provide details.
Although Moore’s death was initially considered an accidental drug overdose, detectives in the Homicide Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department opened an inquiry ten months ago due to writings in Moore’s journal and pressure from his family, friends and community advocates.
The investigators presented their findings to the district attorney’s office on July 10, where prosecutors reviewed and rejected four possible charges: murder, voluntary manslaughter, and furnishing and possessing drugs.
