State investigators searched the homes of former California Public Utilities Commission President Michael Peevey and a former PG&E executive Tuesday, seizing computers and other devices in an investigation of possible judge-shopping, bribery and obstruction of justice, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Wednesday, a new twist in the aftermath of a fatal natural gas explosion in San Bruno.
Agents from the state attorney general’s office searched the Los Angeles County home Peevey shares with his wife, Democratic state Sen. Carol Liu, and the Orinda home of former PG&E Vice President for Regulatory Relations Brian Cherry, the newspaper reported, citing court records it obtained.
Agents took computers, smartphones and a thumb drive from Peevey’s home. According to the Chronicle, the search warrant for the homes said agents were searching for evidence of “ex parte communications, judge-shopping, bribery, obstruction of justice or due administration of laws, favors or preferential treatment.”
Indications of judge-shopping have emerged in a series of emails, some connected to Peevey and PG&E executives, in a gas rate case linked to the 2010 San Bruno explosion, which killed eight people and wrecked a neighborhood.
