Aja Courtney, who reportedly lost her brother in a gang-related shooting, says that eliminating strikes against juveniles would send a message to criminals that they can commit crimes without consequences.
Aja Courtney, who reportedly lost her brother in a gang-related shooting, argued on Sunday that Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón s policies are giving way to more violence.
Courtney made the comment on Fox & Friends Weekend, two days after Gascón argued that eliminating juvenile strikes will make our community safer.
Gascón - joined by Los Angeles Assembly Member Miguel Santiago, a Democrat - unveiled legislation on Friday that would stop strikes committed by minors from later being used against them in adult proceedings, according to a news release.
