Family of child suffering brain injury fears Gascón s new policies may only give child s abuser slap on wrist
New LA County DA George Gascón s sweeping policy changes continue to alarm families of abuse victims.
LOS ANGELES - Great bodily injury, or GBI, is a term used in criminal cases where the victim was severely injured and a defendant is charged with a special circumstance allegation which adds more time in prison if they’re found guilty.
But under newly-elected District Attorney, George Gascón, Special Circumstance Allegations and Enhancements are no longer being allowed. In the case of baby Amber, this could mean the difference between years in prison and probation.
