SANTA ANA, Calif.—Orange County prosecutors released a memo Sept. 27 stating that no one was criminally liable in the COVID-19 death of a jailed murder defendant in January.
In a letter to Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes dated Aug. 30, but publicly released Monday, Senior Deputy District Attorney Cyril Yu said, “There is no indication that [the sheriff’s department] failed to perform a legal duty that resulted in [Ah Le] Fang’s death.”
