LOS ANGELES (CNS) - District Attorney George Gascon may be facing resistance within his own office to his plans to dismiss gang and other allegations designed to lead to longer sentences.
A former Los Angeles County prosecutor who now represents the family of a man killed in a crash by a driver allegedly under the influence of nitrous oxide is fighting moves by Gascon to drop great bodily injury allegations in that case and at least one other.
Attorney Sam Dordulian contends that there is “bedlam in the D.A. s office, and prosecutors are reeling from Gascon s announcement that he would dismiss sentencing enhancements and institute a sweeping set of policy changes, including eliminating cash bail.
