Outcome
The court affirmed that PEPRA's pension forfeiture statute (§ 7522.72) is constitutional, but reversed in part to require adequate due process protections before the County reduces retirement benefits. The trial court's peremptory writ of mandate was modified to place the due process burden on the County rather than LACERA.
