Yesterday I wrote about some of the impacts incoming District Attorney George Gascon was having on specific cases in LA County. Gascon’s decision to drop all special enhancements from prosecutions means some seriously violent people will likely be getting more lenient sentences. For instance, Gascon is attempting to have enhancements dropped from the case of an accused double murderer who allegedly shot one person at random in the street and then, about an hour later, executed an off-duty police deputy by shooting him the back of the head.
Crime victims families lash out at LA County DA George Gascon over new policies

LOS ANGELES (KABC) Loved ones of Los Angeles County crime victims are blasting new District Attorney George Gascon s move to lessen charges filed against those accused of violent crimes.
Immediately after taking office, Gascon issued a special directive that effectively ends cash bail, the death penalty and sentencing enhancements in L.A. County prosecutions. Critics say the directive is a blanket requirement that will release violent offenders back onto the street where they could reoffend. He s running a social experiment that is dangerous for all of us because his whole goal is to release all these criminals out there in the street, and somehow they re magically going to behave. And that simply isn t going to happen, said attorney Samuel Dordulian, who is representing several families of crime victims.
