We have been following the antics of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon who won his George-Soros-backed election in 2020. At the end of January, Legal Insurrection reported that ultra-progressive Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón’s “reforms” were putting the region’s criminal justice system in “free fall.” For example, Gascón forced his prosecutors to read statements in court impugning the state’s “three strikes” law and ending specific penalties.
The situation was so bad that the Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles County argue in a lawsuit that deputy district attorneys cannot follow the directives without violating the state penal code. A judge subsequently blocked Gascón’s efforts to impose his reform directives.
In March, Los Angeles citizens began organizing to oust him. This week, the ouster has moved a little closer to reality as the Los Angeles County Registrar approved the petition to recall Gascón.
