Orange County DA Seeks To Take Child Murder Case Back From LA County And Progressive DA Gasconhttps://hotair.com/archives/john-s-2/2021/02/18/orange-county-da-seeks-take-child-murder-case-back-la-county-da-gascon/LA County DA George Gascon continues to anger the families of crime victims and his own deputy DA’s with his insistence on dropping all sentencing enhancements against violent criminals. Now one such case is turning into a fight between LA County and neighboring Orange County.
The case involves a convicted sex offender named Kenneth Rasmuson (pictured above) who has previously served time for two sex crimes involving children. In 2015, DNA tied him to the kidnapping and murder of two 6-year-old boys in California in the early 1980s. Those crimes were set to be tried in LA County but newly-elected DA Gascon is seeking to drop all the enhancements in the case which would result in a lighter sentence for Rasmuson if he’s convicted. So this week Orange County DA Todd Spitzer filed charges in the case, hoping to take it back from LA County:
The underlying basis of this jurisdiction urination match is that while the murdered child's body was found in LA County he was abducted in Orange County.
