Lawsuit attacks former Registrar

It has all the elements of a spellbinding political thriller: alleged corruption, a coverup and characters described as "snakes and poison from a biblical era." Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

It's not a page-turning bestseller, but a labyrinthine lawsuit involving allegations of unethical actions and misconduct among top Los Angeles County officials.

Three high-level managers who were forced out of their jobs under former Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk Conny McCormack claim she engaged in a range of misconduct from wrongful termination to race and age discrimination to attempted insurance fraud.
