Veteran Prosecutor Alleges Retaliation for Protesting Gascon Juvenile Directive Deputy District Attorney Shawn Randolph’s Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit, filed July 27, seeks unspecified damages. A representative for the District Attorney’s Office did not immediately reply to a request for comment. At the time of Gascon’s election, Randolph was the head prosecutor in charge of the District Attorney’s Office’s juvenile division, in which she supervised about 50 lawyers and 50 civilian workers, the suit states. On Feb. 1, she was transferred the parole division, a “dead-end position for a head deputy,” the suit states. Randolph was denied transfers to head the District Attorney’s branch offices in Torrance and Long Beach Superior Courts even though she was the most qualified applicant for each position, the suit states.
