The maid will likely not get one red penny. Police are notoriously stingy about adhering to the letter of the offer. Though they offered an “arrest and conviction” reward, they never had any intention at all of arresting.
Were they to arrest, he would get his day in court, and he would spend it upending many of the LAPDs rackets, naming names, etc.
The immediate concern is all the wackos out there who will now try to copycat him by offing a cop.
That's what I've read many times. Crimestoppers may pay the little rewards, but I don't recall a big reward ever being paid.
Really? I figure there is some number of outsiders (non-cops) who will attempt to murder cops, for the same various reasons that have persisted for centuries. Wronged by the law, gang initiation, escape arrest, cop boinking wife/husband, and so on. And, much fewer in number, there is always a chance that an insider (a cop) will turn violent on his peers.
IOW, Dorner didn't create any new wackos, or any new reason for a wacko to attempt murder. He had his issue, and now he's dead. His issue died with him.
