George Gascón has faced strong opposition after the unilateral adoption of drastic reform measures to the Los Angeles justice system, and now its adversaries prepare for a possible recall process.
George Gascón was elected Los Angeles Attorney in the elections last November and was sworn in on December 7. From that moment, the former police officer and former San Francisco Prosecutor, assured that in Los Angeles County no more would be sought the death penalty or the offenses of convictions in some crimes, in addition to seeking to eliminate the bonds victims of crimes, the police forces and even among the prosecutors of the office he directs.
days in office, the time necessary to initiate a recall process, a group of victims and police officers have made clear their intentions to do so , which would also be part of the requirements to start the process.
So that the initiative has the possibility of being carried out , those who drive the revo Gascon catorium must collect at least the 10% of the Los Angeles County Electoral Roll , or what is the same close to 90, 01 signatures to call the new election for the Los Angeles Attorney General’s position.
“Minutes after being sworn in, he (Gascón) took unilateral measures that meant radical changes that he did not promote while he was on the electoral campaign and that is now leaving dangerous and violent criminals in the streets. It is unacceptable. He made fun of the voters of Los Angeles County, ”says the group Recall George Gascon on the Facebook platform.
The group recognizes that Gascón would have promised to eliminate the death penalty in the campaign, but that many other measures that he promulgated since he came to office were unilateral and nobody expected them, so they consider that he acted unfairly by defrauding the vote of Los Angeles.
Recently one of Los Angeles’ most acclaimed attorneys at law would have sued Gascón for defamation and would have assured that there was discontent in the Prosecutor’s Office for the new guidelines.
