Vandals deface Court of Appeal buildings

Many California courts, just emerging from pandemic-related closures, will close again on Monday in the aftermath of days of civil unrest tied to George Floyd's death.

  • Vandals on Saturday night defaced the Sacramento building that houses the Third District Court of Appeal, spray-painting the exterior granite walls and statues. The Second District Court of Appeal building in Los Angeles was also vandalized on Friday and Saturday nights. The court’s first floor was breached and windows were broken and walls covered with graffiti, according to a Judicial Council spokesman.
