Amid signs that his own ranks resent George Gascon s reforms, a fatal DUI case tests the public appetite for leniency. (County of Los Angeles via AP)
LOS ANGELES, CA District Attorney George Gascon may be facing resistance within his own office to his plans to dismiss gang and other allegations that lead to longer sentences.
A former Los Angeles County prosecutor who now represents the family of a man killed in a crash by a driver allegedly under the influence of nitrous oxide is fighting moves by Gascon to drop great bodily injury allegations in that case and at least one other.

President-elect Joe Biden’s Cabinet and other senior staffing choices have been complicated by the competing demands for representation by the various groups inside the Democratic coalition, often breaking down along the lines of race, ethnicity, or gender.
Biden’s pick for secretary of veterans affairs isn’t a veteran. His choice for secretary of agriculture isn’t black, as some civil rights activists and African American farmers groups had hoped. His intention to appoint the first black secretary of defense came at the expense of nominating the first woman to this post. That nominee is also facing scrutiny precisely because of his veteran status only five years removed from being a general, he would need a congressional waiver to helm the Pentagon as a civilian, and some liberals are reluctant to give him one.
