The LAPD conducted an investigation following Raja Jackson’s brutal assault on Syko Stu, but it seems the case will now be picked up by the California State authorities soon enough, showing just how serious the matter is.

While speaking on The Masters of Wrestling, Doug “The Epic” Malo revealed that the state of California will be taking over Raja Jackson’s case following the brutal assault. He explained that a detective friend told him how slowly the process had been handled, particularly by the LAPD, but with the amount of evidence available, the state is stepping in.

Doug “The Epic” Malo added that he has already spoken with a detective directly involved in the case, making it clear that Raja Jackson is expected to face jail time.

“I talked to a detective friend of mine and he told me the process of everything and how bad they dragged their feet—especially LAPD. But he’s saying that because of all the evidence, the state’s going to pick it up. I’ve already talked to a detective who’s on the case. So, it’s not like he’s not going to jail.”
