Los Angeles DA George Gascon brushes off concern from mother of slain officer: 'We don't have a crystal ball'
Fox News
L.A. County District Attorney George Gascon seemingly brushed off concern from the mother of one of the slain El Monte police officers who said she blamed his office for her son's killing.
Flores, a gang member, was on probation for a weapons charge after he received a lenient sentence through a plea deal. A Gascon policy allowed Flores to plead no contest to being a felon in possession of a firearm and receive a light sentence despite having a strike on his criminal record already.
Garcia is the mother of Joseph Anthony Santana, an El Monte police officer who, along with his partner Cpl. Michael Domingo Paredes, was allegedly shot and killed by Flores during a domestic call at a motel. He shot the officers when they entered the motel room.
