The new district attorney of Los Angeles County

jeudi 10 décembre 2020 à 01:00

The new district attorney of Los Angeles County will no longer seek the death penalty, no longer try children as adults, no longer ask the court to make a sentence longer.

In addition, the new DA will not ask for cash bail, except for violent or serious felonies. To this, the thug union had a completely bullshit response.

The response presents us with a fantasy world in which (1) everyone who gets bail was charged with shooting a gun and (2) making people facing such charges pay bail is going to make them less dangerous.

It is bullshit because those are serious, violent felonies, so the DA's no-bail policy does not apply to them at all.
