Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon announced the launch of a new diversion program for juvenile criminals.
The LA program faces unique criticism in that Gascon’s deputy district attorneys continue to vocally oppose his programs and initiatives.
"Diversion means that we're not charging anybody," Hatami, a longtime critic of Gascon’s progressive policies, said of the new program."So, if we're not charging anybody, they don't go through the court system. So you can't give them any sort of programs that are monitored through the court.
Gascon has faced significant criticism as his zero-bail policies have effectively created a revolving door for some suspected criminals at a time when Los Angeles faces a severe crime wave. 14 suspects allegedly involved in 11 smash-and-grab robberies in November, but the suspects returned to the street hours later because of zero-bail policies. They remain free while their cases go through the courts.
