California mother of murder victim blasts 'coward' DA Gascón: Feels like 'nobody has our back'
Fox News
Desiree Andrade, whose son Julien was murdered in California in 2018, told “Fox & Friends” on Monday that she thinks Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is “in the wrong office” and “should be a public defender.”
"It’s very sad where you have criminals over victims," she continued. "I don’t understand the world we’re living in right now." Andrade made the comments five days after Gascón slammed what he called "conservative media" and "tough-on-crime types" for the backlash against his sweeping criminal justice reforms as he faces a recall effort from the families of victims. Gascón took office in December and announced a slew of changes including stopping the use of sentencing enhancements, restricting when prosecutors can hold defendants without bail, ending the use of the death penalty in L.A. County and banning the practice of trying juveniles as adults.More Related News
