LOS ANGELES (CN) A Los Angeles County judge on Wednesday ordered new District Attorney George Gascón to show why criminal justice reforms he enacted which county prosecutors say conflict with state law should not be blocked.
The order by LA County Superior Court Judge David J. Cowan stems from a lawsuit filed Wednesday by the Association of Deputy District Attorneys of Los Angeles (ADDA). The union’s lawsuit comes less than a month after Gascón took office and enacted reforms prosecutors say run afoul of state laws including the state’s Three Strikes Law.
Los Angeles health officials are testing for the new, more contagious coronavirus variant first detected in the United Kingdom as COVID-19 cases skyrocket in California. “I wouldn’t be surprised that it’s already here,” Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, an infectious disease professor at UCSF School of Medicine, told ABC-7 News. The variant, which researchers have determined is approximately 56% more contagious than other strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has.
Comments
Noticed possible change of marketing at official Black Lives Matter twitter account. They haven t mentioned anything to do with defund police meme for quite some time. Before that they were dissing Biden s statements at the same time demanding recognition from him.
The closest to topic was on Dec. 11, advocacy for blocking Mayor Gil Garcetti from Biden s cabinet. After that there s:a move to these topics
ending the federal death penalty
ending state-sanctioned violence in Ethiopia (!!! ethnic rather than racial! doh, are they finally getting the real problem?)
the origin of the phrase Black Lives Matter
worldwide fight against racism and inequality
The newest ones include California Governor
Gavin Newsom s likely recall and LA Mayor
Eric Garcetti being wisely left behind by the Biden Administration for a cabinet position.
Let s cheer for these outcomes, just like the vacuous cheerleading done
for Newsom and Garcetti over their careers by the continuously struggling Los Angeles Times. Whatever your civic issues, their collective downfall has a delicious
schadenfreude flavor to it.
Twin towers of tumult, Newsom and Garcetti are creations of our gullibility to local media, which relies mainly on the Times. The paper, which is smaller in length, width, and content than ever before, took two big fish from the small political ponds of San Francisco and Los Angeles, respectively, and kept advancing them for no reason other than their identity politics and personal malleability.
