Bill Pavelic | Investigative Consultant

Pavelic specializes in police corruption cases and he is equally as hard on passive, lazy and or back stabbing (pro prosecution) defense lawyers as he is against corrupt prosecutors and law enforcement personnel.

As a former LAPD detective supervisor, Bill Pavelic learned firsthand that “testalying” by cops is condoned by rogue prosecutors and pseudo defense lawyers who rely on “wussiest” positions rather than fight and defend their clients.

Law enforcement related corruption could not prosper without a tacit approval from the prosecutors and to some degree the judiciary. The prosecutorial misconduct that Pavelic has encountered in many of his cases involved:

• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who relentlessly, obsessively and injudiciously manipulate the print and electronic media so as to unfairly influence the outcome of a case;
• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who use the prestige of their office to intimidate, harass and spread propaganda about defense attorneys and defense consultants / investigators;
• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who suborn perjury so as to win at any cost;
• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who falsify search and arrest warrant affidavits;
• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who start out with a pseudo conclusion and “manufacture” facts to meet that conclusion;
• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who knowingly conceal exculpatory evidence at every level of the judicial process including the Grand Jury;
• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who tailor their “cherry-picked” evidence and remarks to the Grand Jury to fit their twisted logic or misguided perception;
• Prosecutors, investigators and or agents who play fast and lose with evidence and rely on experts like Anthony Pellicano to “authenticate” transcripts from dubious - tampered audio and video tapes;
• Prosecutors, investigators and agents who knowingly provide false evidence as true evidence;
• Prosecutors, investigators and agents who play games with discovery;
• Prosecutors, investigators and agents who under color of authority illegally detain and arrest people, so as to use them as bargaining chips;

“...Bill Pavelic was especially proud of his street sense. He had been one of the few (LAPD) Caucasian cops; he liked to tell friends, who understood how things really worked in the black community. He got so deep into it that he saw things, he was certain, through nonwhite eyes. He discovered that African-Americans and dark-skinned immigrants of all backgrounds had a lot to fear from the LAPD.  When the department couldn't prove something, some cops had no problem framing people who couldn't fight back. Bill Pavelic complained loudly, and soon enough he was seen as disloyal. Before long, he was out...”

"...I know (LAPD) Robbery-Homicide Division. I've actually seen them frame innocent people.  You can't take anything for granted..."

“...Bill Pavelic studied the LAPD's crime-scene logs. He called friends at LAPD to see what else he could learn. He put in twenty-hour days, and finally what happened in the early hours of June 13 started to come together...”

“...Bill Pavelic got a call from an officer on another matter. As they spoke, he realized that the cop was connected to the Simpson investigation. He said the department thought there was more than one killer. The wounds suggested each victim was murdered with a different weapon. Goldman's injuries indicated he had fought fiercely before he died...”

“...Bill Pavelic felt that there was no private investigator in town better at living inside the collective mind of the LAPD than himself. He was an expert on the department's rules and procedures. He'd been on the force for eighteen years, won hundreds of medals, commendations, favorable incident reports...”

“...It was Bill Pavelic who gave them their first real hope, however elusive: He saw corruption in the police casework...”

“...Under any circumstances, Bill Pavelic would have looked for it. His career with the LAPD had ended in angry protest.  In 1984, Bill Pavelic had testified against fellow officers who killed a fleeing suspect. One cop was fired, another suspended for six months.  Bill Pavelic assumed he was stigmatized forever. But by 1990, he'd made it to supervising detective in the Southwest Division. Then he got in trouble again.

His men were investigating a date rape at USC when their bosses began showing a heavy-handed interest.  Bill Pavelic, his partner, and their immediate supervisor eventually concluded that then-chief Daryl Gates and a deputy chief were listening to the suspect's father, a prominent lawyer with influence inside the department.

Bill Pavelic and his men protested publicly. And Bill raised similar charges again before a "people's tribunal" when activist groups held hearings on the LAPD after the Rodney King beating.  Bill Pavelic told the crowd that lying and covering up were the norm in the department.  That earned him a desk job. In 1992, he and the brass reached an accommodation.  He took a disability pension for asthma and chest pains. He told one doctor he'd rather spend time in a gulag than go back to work...”
