The historic building was featured on television shows including Dragnet and Get Smart, but more significantly was the home of Los Angeles courts, the Los Angeles County Coroner, police agencies and was for many years the primary Los Angeles County jail.
Notable residents of the Hall of Justice included Charles Manson and Sirhan Sirhan. Autopsies performed at the Hall of Justice include that of actor Marilyn Monroe and the assassinated presidential candidate and former US Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
