(AP Photo/Eric Risberg, File) Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon wants to hire a special prosecutor to review and re-evaluate police shootings with questionable use of force. On Friday, he sent an official letter to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors requesting approval to hire former Federal Prosecutor Lawrence Middleton. Things have progressed in the hiring process to the point that Gascón sent an official letter to the members of the county’s Board of Supervisors, asking for their authorization to hire Middleton for a four year contract, with options to extend. “To promote public confidence in the decision-making process and the outcome of any such investigations,” he wrote to the board members, “the DA has determined the need for a Special Prosecutor to reevaluate, and if the facts support it, to criminally prosecute any officers whose actions unlawfully caused the death of the victims in those cases.”
