'LOS ANGELES – A veteran police officer accused of killing her ex-boyfriend's wife in 1986 rose through the ranks of the Police Department for two decades, even as the victim's father pleaded with police to investigate her.

On Tuesday, Stephanie Lazarus will face a judge on charges that she bit, beat and shot Sherri Rasmussen after breaking into her condominium 23 years ago.

Lazarus, 49, could be sentenced to death if convicted of Rasmussen's murder.'
