LA County’s progressive DA George Gascon is having a bad week. Yesterday, after a two week trial, a jury awarded $1.5 million to a Deputy DA who had sued Gascon for retaliation after she opposed some of Gascon’s policies which she believed violated state law.

Shawn Randolph, the former head of the juvenile division of the district attorney’s office, claimed she was shuttled off to the parole division for pushing back against some of Gascón’s shifts to the handling of criminal cases involving minors, including his blanket ban on trying juveniles as adults.

Randolph’s legal team, led by civil attorneys Greg Smith and Beth Corriea, argued that she believed Gascón’s policies violated laws pertaining to victims’ rights and that limitations on the types of felonies prosecutors could file against teens would lead them to bring charges that did not accurately represent the alleged conduct of certain defendants.

After challenging Gascon, Randolph went from leading an office of 50 prosecutors to a dead end job in the parole division. She filed the lawsuit and last month Gascon testified in his own defense.

Clearly the jury didn’t believe him. But the really bad news for Gascon because there are 16 more retaliation cases against him which have yet to go to trial.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect the money will come from L.A. County

Sounds like Gascon is a HUGE costly mistake for LA County citizen/taxpayers, and in even more ways than one would've imagined. Crime up BIG TIME by EVERY measure (homicides, assaults, theft, etc), prosecutions down across the board, and now the citizen/taxpayers get screwed over again, having to foot the bill over retaliation lawsuits!

Apparently Elections DO have Consequences...BIG Ones!

Fuck them stupid asses that voted these thugs into office.

"progressive district attorney should resign and become criminal defense lawyers. It's where their heart and minds are. Litigation is about tension from the two opposing sides and that conflict produces the most just result. When the DA joins the defense there is only one side and justice is thwarted. A societal sh*t show is the result.
