Matthew Scallan is head of the Major Crimes Unit of the L.A. District Attorney's office as of 2020. He reports directly to the District Attorney, John Kelly. He supervises a number of prosecutors, including Dana Berg. Although details are not available, it appears that Scallan was not aware of the problems arising in the murder trial of Mickey Haller. It can be inferred that he became acutely aware of the problems on February 26, 2020, when Kelly informed him that a deal would have to be made to release Haller. A meeting was held on the morning of February 27 in the District Attorney's conference room. In attendance were Kelly, Haller, Judge Warfield, Maggie McPherson, Dana Berg, Wilson Corbett, Dawn Ruth, Rick Aiello, and a couple of others. The outcome of the meeting was agreement that all the charges against Haller would be dropped and he would be given full exoneration. Scallan had little to say in the meeting, but it is likely he was not pleased with the outcome.
