Woke LA DA George Gascón has 10,000-case backlog, ‘toxic’ attitude driving staff away: sources

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is an “authoritarian” and “toxic” manager whose ultra-woke approach has led scores of prosecutors to quit and 10,000 cases to pile up, sources tell The Post.
Justice is not being served in the most populous county in the nation because Gascón has driven talent away, demoted top lawyers and fights anyone who doesn’t share his views, according to multiple sources who have worked for him.
One former LA prosecutor said Gascón’s policies have eroded trust with the public the office serves, through generous plea deals allowing criminals to get out of jail or prison without serving hard time or declining to prosecute crimes at all.
“In my career as a prosecutor, I’ve never had victims’ families actually hate us until I came into this office,” a former deputy DA told The Post.
I'm not sure that good people leaving his office was an unintended consequence.

Wasn’t there an attempt to recall him?

Yes, the petition to force a recall election failed.

Nothing's going to get better there.
Only... worse.
Whoever eventually replaces this Gascón guy will probably be even more leftist.
