"While we commend District Attorney Mike Hestrin for immediately refiling charges in this case and in many other dismissed cases, this is a temporary fix. The State needs to do more, perhaps by adding more judges and staff to help alleviate the backlog caused by the Court’s inability to regularly conduct criminal trials during the pandemic.
"Our office respectfully disagrees with the decisions the judges continue to make regarding mass case dismissals. A one-size fits all approach of blanket case dismissals is not the answer," said DA Mike Hestrin. "We are continuing to ask the bench to look at each case individually to determine if there is good cause to continue the matter until a courtroom becomes available.
