Richard Walsh represented the City of Los Angeles in proceedings concerning access to LAPD records, including records related to Detective Fuhrman. In February 1995, he responded to the defense's request for an expedited hearing and disclosure by arguing that the City needed adequate time to assess the request and determine its legal position. Walsh later testified in July, with direct examination by Johnnie Cochran and cross-examination by Christopher Darden across multiple rounds, and appeared in August proceedings concerning Internal Affairs discovery and the materiality of LAPD subpoena materials.
