Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón swept into office as part of a nationwide call to hold police accountable following the murder of George Floyd. While he has aggressively pursued police misconduct, questions loom.

A Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy who faked getting shot in a sniper attack was convicted of just a single misdemeanor count this week after the prosecutor failed to convince a jury that the lawman had lied to obtain workers compensation benefits.

Members of the LA County DA's office who are former deputy public defenders are asking a court for greater protection from threats they say they have received as witnesses during hearings on appeals by other prosecutors who maintain they were wrongfully passed over for promotions.
