BREAKING: An L.A. jury just awarded $1.5 million to Shawn Randolph, who was suing D.A. George Gascon for retaliation claiming she was transferred for speaking out against his policies. This is a grim omen for Gascon, who faces at least a dozen similar lawsuits.
This centralized approach creates an unmanageable bureaucracy that will fail to provide local, focused, prosecution support to the victims in our communities. (4)
Gascon's disbanding of VIP:
George Gascon mismanages the District Attorney's Office every day. In his latest example of mismanagement, yesterday he proudly announced the elimination of the Victim Impact Program (VIP). (1)
This unit works closely with local law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute crimes against these vulnerable victims. By describing this drastic change as an "expansion" of the Family Violence and Sex Crimes Division, Gascon is deceiving the public. (3)
Today is a big day for me. Not only is it my birthday, but today I am also officially launching my campaign to become Los Angeles County’s next District Attorney. Learn more about my race https://t.co/3JaCTWzRxp
