Desiree Andrade, whose son Julien was murdered in California in 2018, told Fox & Friends on Monday that she thinks Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is in the wrong office and should be a public defender. He’d be a great public defender, Andrade told host Ainsley Earhardt. The district attorney’s office is about protecting us victims. I feel like… nobody has our back and it’s sad.

L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón has launched an ambitious series of reforms he says are designed to combat mass incarceration and systemic racism in the criminal justice system.
For one thing, he wants his staff to review past sentences and try to undo those they determine were overly long, a process that could lead to the release of thousands of incarcerated people.
Reginald Wheeler hopes his will be one of those cases.

A Manhattan Beach Police Department officer was charged on Feb. 25 with sending sexually explicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl.
Officer John Cheatham, 33, allegedly met the underaged victim while she was at the MBPD station to report a crime, in 2019. He’s accused of sending her sexually suggestive messages through social media sites between November of that year and June 2020.
“Instead of providing assistance and support to the victim, this officer is alleged to have abused his authority when she was most vulnerable,” Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said in a press release. “If officers break the law they were sworn to uphold, they will be held accountable for their actions by my office.”
