As trial determines Ridley-Thomas' fate, his son’s life gets dissected

The politician's lawyers began presenting their defense Tuesday, with Sebastian Ridley-Thomas center stage.

He has not been charged with a crime. But in the ongoing trial of suspended Los Angeles City CouncilmemberJurors have seen photos of Sebastian Ridley-Thomas, read his words in emails and heard about his rising debt, medical problems, education and career.

Within days, he appeared to be considering a resignation, with a former aide warning him that doing so without a reason would invite speculation. In the final weeks of 2017, Flynn urged her staff to “give highest priority to” enrolling Sebastian, even though he had not yet submitted his transcripts for admission. Meanwhile, Knott, the public policy dean, had told Sebastian that his timeline of confirming a job to start in January was not feasible.

Hours later, Flynn emailed one of her aides with Sebastian’s address to get a job offer out to him. “Hope we can get this done,” Flynn told her aide. Wong recently told The Times he knew of rumors at the time of the resignation, but said, “I cannot confirm whether those allegations are true.”
