LA city attorney seeks documents in Jackson probe

City Attorney Carmen Trutanich created a whirl of questions after announcing last week that investigators turned up possible criminal activity while looking into whether City Hall could recoup an estimated $1.4 million it spent on police and other services dedicated to the Jackson tribute.
