About
During his 19 year tenure with LAPD, Bill Pavelic earned a Master’s Degree from Pepperdine University and acquired an extensive background in administrative and criminal investigations. Detective Pavelic has investigated every conceivable crime and he is considered an expert in police procedures, interrogations and case biopsies. He is a recipient of over 200 commendations and letters of appreciation from private and governmental institutions, including the United States Department of Justice. Prior to his retirement in early 1993, Bill was honored by the City of Los Angeles as the Detective Supervisor of the Year for his professional competence, unimpeachable integrity, and for serving the civilian community with distinction, courtesy and honor.
Det. Pavelic openly challenged the Los Angeles District Attorneys Office and the Los Angeles Police Department for it’s “contribution” to racial injustice and for sending deplorable signals to police officers on the force that it was OK to frame people, falsify official investigations, violate the LAPD manual, discredit the Code of Ethics and be dishonest, as long as it protects or benefits the LAPD brass and a handful of LADA prosecutors.
Every victim of racial injustice in the greater Los Angeles area knows that the Los Angeles District Attorneys office “attitude filings” were based on the same injudicious principles as the LAPD’s “attitude bookings”. Targeting and labeling over 50% of African American young males as “gang bangers” and “pencil f—ing” the entire South Central L.A. community would come back to haunt them.
While many people in the South Central Los Angeles community were chanting “No Justice No Peace”, following the beating of Rodney King, Bill Pavelic was making sure that Chief Daryl Gates and LAPD management, were held accountable for their roles in being “Guilty of Incompetence”.
On July 20, 1994, as the lead defense investigator in the OJ Simpson case, Bill Pavelic informed the media that LAPD Detective Mark Fuhrman was a racist and a pathological liar. By inserting former Chief Daryl Gates and Anthony Pellicano as Mark Fuhrman’s official “defenders”, the “race card was born” and the outcome of the “Trial of the Century” was assured.
The acquittal of LAPD officers by the white Simi Valley Jury in the beating of Rodney King would be the catalyst for the black jurors to acquit OJ Simpson, no matter how strong the evidence against him. It was payback time and the slogan of “what goes around comes around” was about to be activated; the “not guilty” verdict would clearly convey to the world the utmost dissatisfaction of the black community and how it perceived the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles District Attorneys Office.
