The author is basically saying every defendant should be released pretrial no matter the underlying charge, no matter any public safety concerns because all defendants are innocent until proven guilty, focusing exclusively on the criminal and completely excluding public safety and the victim leads to horrible consequences, like the murder of Brianna [Kupfer]. We have also seen the results of ‘cite and release’ all over California with massive smash-and- grabs and train thefts and robberies. So always citing out a person who commits an assault, which is many times violent, is dangerous and against public safety.

The Cachu case is one of way too many that shows the nation that George Gascon’s policies, directives and so-called reforms are a failure, his ‘data and science’ was flawed and completely untrue and his 18-month social experiment has been an abysmal failure.

George is trying to explain his way out of not doing his job. It’s not working, we all see through his false ‘data and science.’ The appropriate charges should have been two counts of PC 245(a)(1) Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapon to wit Automobile, one count of felony hit-and-run, and one count of felony unlawful taking of vehicle.

Don’t be fooled, Los Angeles, actions always speak louder than words. Look at what Gascón has done to LA in just one year. We can’t trust him.

Jonathan Hatami

George Gascón can’t be trusted with the public safety of Los Angeles.

Facts to consider are suspects' prior record, facts of the crime itself, public safety, victims' rights and safety, any prior failures to appear, and any bench warrants. There are many programs already in place in county jail to help and assist the wrongdoer. We don’t need to endanger the public a second time or implement some political experiment and just sit back and see what happens.
