Judge William P. Gray to Retire After 25 Years
U.S. District Judge William P. Gray, who has monitored the rights of jail inmates in Los Angeles and Orange counties, will retire next month, ending a long and eventful chapter in the management of the two jail systems.
Gray, 79, was left weakened by surgery last year for a benign brain tumor. His retirement will end a 25-year federal judicial career that began when President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed him to the bench in 1966.
