- Najee Ali, known as an outspoken critic of law enforcement, was sentenced to four years in state prison Monday after pleading guilty to trying to bribe a witness in his daughter’s criminal case.
The 45-year-old former gang member turned community activist allegedly tried to tamper with a witness in January outside his daughter’s preliminary hearing in Alhambra, said Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
He was charged March 11 with attempting to intimidate and bribe a witness. But prosecutors later dismissed the intimidation charge.
