Several private citizens were instrumental in cornering cop killer Christopher Dorner … but there may be a gigantic loophole preventing any of them from collecting the loot.
There are 3 rewards. The Mayor of L.A. announced a $1 million reward — funded by private groups — for information leading to the “capture and conviction” of Dorner. Big problem — technically speaking, Dorner must be both captured AND convicted to trigger the reward.
The L.A. City Council offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to “the identification, apprehension, and conviction” of Dorner. Again … no conviction. City Council sources tell us there”s already a disagreement between the Legislative Analyst and the City Attorney over how to interpret the reward language.

County Board of Supervisors offered a $100,000 reward for information “leading to the capture of Christopher Dorner.” One source at the Board of Supervisors tells our sources, “Dorner was cornered but not captured.”
Translation … technically speaking, no one may be entitled to the reward. It”s unclear if the Mayor, the City Council and the Board of Supervisors will bend the rules.
