Former UCLA Health gynecologist James Heaps is appealing his sexual battery and penetration convictions. Heaps – who was sentenced to 11 years in prison April 26 – is appealing on the basis that the trial court may have erred in procedure and denied Heaps a fair trial, his attorney Leonard Levine said. On Oct. 20, a jury found Heaps guilty on five counts of sex crimes, acquitted on seven and was hung on nine.

A 19-point defeat in their Pac-12 home opener all but established that the Bruins’ upset win over LSU a month prior was more fluke than truth.
