L.A. Activist Gets 4 Years For Witness Tampering

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Former gang member-turned-activist Najee Ali has been sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to trying to bribe a witness in his daughter's assault case.

A 45-year-old frequent critic of law enforcement, Ali on Monday received what would have been a two-year sentence that was doubled because of a prior robbery conviction in 1992.

District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says Ali was charged
March 11 with attempting to intimidate and bribe a witness outside his daughter's preliminary hearing in an assault case in Alhambra in January.

The intimidation charge was later dropped.

Ali's daughter Jasmin Eskew is awaiting trial on two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of leaving the scene of an accident for a 2007 incident on the San Bernardino Freeway.
