DA George Gascón promises drastic criminal justice reform in LA County, including ending cash bail
« on: December 07, 2020, 09:53:57 pm »
Los Angeles County's new District Attorney George Gascón was sworn in Monday, at which time he promised drastic reform in the county of more than 10 million residents.

Among those reforms, Gascón promised to mostly eliminate the cash bail system, no longer pursue the death penalty, eliminate all sentencing enhancements, disband the special circumstances committee and reopen past cases including police use of force.

"Today, we will usher in a new era of criminal justice, and transform the largest criminal justice jurisdiction in America," Gascón wrote in a series of Tweets.

Prosecutors will no longer request cash bail for any misdemeanor, non-serious or non-violent offense, Gascón announced. Prosecutors will still be able to request bail in very serious offenses articulated in the constitution until Jan 1. By Jan 1, Gascón’s office will detail infrastructure and specifics to end cash bail altogether, instead seeking detention when deemed necessary.

"We will be the largest office in the nation in eliminating cash bail," Gascón said.

He also said that the DA's office will no longer seek the death penalty.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Here lies in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God

THE ESTABLISHMENT IS THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION

Republicans Don't Need A Back Bench...They Need a BACKBONE!

And the Libs in LA will navel gaze and wonder in a year from now why crime rates have drastically increased.  Gascon has a track record of being criminal friendly everywhere he goes.

So in some of these "reforms" he will refuse to enforce multiple California laws. In the case of ending cash bail he ill be acting despite CA voters having voted down a ballot proposition that would have done that.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

From Fox LA’s Bill Melugin’s Twitter feed:

Quote
NEW: L.A. County DA George Gascon has issued a directive to prosecutors that the following misdemeanors will be declined for prosecution, with exemptions.
-Trespassing
-Disturbing the peace
-Driving without license
-Prostitution
-Resisting arrest

That’s what $2.2 million of George Soros’ money has gotten the people of LA.

"the following misdemeanors will be declined for prosecution, with exemptions.

So... can the "homeless" now enter someone's property, set up a tent, and start living there without interference by the law and no recourse for the property owners...?
