21 Oct DDA Speak Out – John Colello
John Colello is a L.A. County Deputy D.A. for over 26 years, who wants Nathan Hochman to replace our current failed L.A. County District Attorney George Gascon. John warns, “D.A. Gascon has elevated criminals over victims. Gascon has put his own personal political agenda over public safety. To carry out his failed policies, Gascon hired public defenders to play the role of prosecutors. They are working tirelessly behind the scenes to get more criminals out of prison and returned to our community.”
George Gascon refuses to prosecute the most violent criminals and gang members using drug weight, gun and gang “enhancements” for sentencing. These sentencing enhancements allowed prosecutors for decades to add years onto a prison sentence if the crime was committed by a violent gang member, or a criminal with a gun or was trafficking large quantities of deadly drugs. This helped keep violent predators and drug traffickers off the streets of our community longer.
Gascon forbids prosecutors from attending Parole Hearings with victims. Leaving them to be traumatized and victimized again, by forcing them to face ALONE the killers and child molesters of their family members – and their own rapists and kidnappers. He does not allow prosecutors to share prisoners’ criminal case files and crime details with the Parole Board! This aids violent criminals in jail to have a better chance to get back onto our streets of L.A. County and into our communities because the Parole Board does NOT know all the relevant details about the criminal and the crime(s) they committed! This should be frightening to everyone except those that Gascon actually protects…. criminals!
John reveals, “Gascon has removed ‘justice’ from the Criminal Justice System. The results are predictable and never had to happen. People all over Los Angeles County feel less safe. People ARE less safe in Los Angeles County… AND crime is up! George Gascon has failed us. Gascon must go!”
