Gascón recall effort: More than 715,000 signatures submitted, L.A. County election officials say
A Venice mother was walking her eight-month-old in a stroller when a rental car driven by a 16-year-old toppled them over, then tried to flee in August of 2021.
Gascón has been under fire since taking office in December 2020, when he issued a series of directives critics have blasted as being soft on crime. The directives include a rule against seeking the death penalty, a ban on transferring juvenile defendants to adult court and prohibitions on filing sentencing-enhancements in most cases.
In a statement Tuesday, recall organizers said residents"have spoken in a resounding way," noting the sheer number of people who have signed petitions and pointing to 37 cities in the county that have taken"no- confidence" votes in Gascón. "From day one, this recall has been led by the very victims who Gascón has abandoned, ignored and dismissed. When the recall qualifies, he will not be able to ignore them any longer."
