L.A. gang worker cleared of armor charge
Michael Angel Alvarez, a gang intervention worker in Los Angeles, was federally indicted earlier this year for possession of body armor, but the charges were dismissed after a judge ruled his prior felony conviction was now classified as a juvenile disposition under California law.

The legal change, Proposition 57, resulted in the release of some juvenile offenders from prison, affecting Alvarez’s case.
