Weekend Dish: Sean
John Award, Biggie Smalls LA Officers
Sean John Award:
An integrated marketing communications firm in
Guelph has received its third industry award for
helping rap star Sean "Diddy" Combs launch a
fashion clothing line in Canada.
Diana Robinson & Associates was a winner in the
media relations category of the Canadian Silver
Leaf awards program run by the International
Association of Business Communicators, a news
release said.
The winning project involved creating "a high-end,
celebrity-style event for 675 of the who's who in
Canada's fashion industry in just four weeks, on a
very limited budget," company president Diana
Robinson said in a news release. (From

LA Officers in Biggie case, linked to
misconduct:
Chronic Magazine
reports, The deputy chief also was accused
in the lawsuit of having sexual relations with
another female officer. At the time, she and her
husband, also an LAPD cop, were under
investigation by internal affairs after being
arrested by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's
Department on suspicion of making criminal
threats, resisting a police officer and providing
false information to authorities.
Christle's attorney, Bradley Gage of Los Angeles,
says his client was also retaliated against for
alleging that Berkow and department personnel
confiscated her computer containing critical
information about the internal affairs
investigation of the Notorious B.I.G. murder case.
Gage is one of several attorneys suing on behalf
of the late rapper, Christopher Wallace, alleging
that two former Los Angeles police officers
orchestrated his fatal shooting in 1997 in the
city's Miracle Mile area.
Asked about the allegation that data potentially
implicating police officers in the Biggie Smalls
murder may have been hidden or deleted, Bratton
said: "She has made allegations in the lawsuit.
That will be dealt with in response to the
lawsuit. The department is complying fully with
the court mandates on discovery and turning over
all the other documents and I am very comfortable
with that."
Note: She was then later removed from the Biggie
Smalls case the
