Some of those incidents received an enormous amount of media coverage, like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-12-01/wife-of-music-executive-clarence-avant-fatally-shot-at-trousdale-estates-home\">December slaying of prominent philanthropist Jacqueline Avant\u003c/a> — the wife of legendary music producer Clarence Avant — during a robbery attempt at her Beverly Hills home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gascón’s defenders argue that recall supporters, like Cooley, are bent on portraying him as a soft-on-crime stereotype, a characterization they call wholly disingenuous given his deep law enforcement experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DA Gascón spent 30 years as a police officer, 30 years in LAPD. He has dedicated his entire life to making the communities safe,” said Cristine Soto DeBerry, executive director of the Prosecutors Alliance of California, a group that supports progressive DAs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeBerry believes the campaign to unseat Gascón is part of a wider effort among conservative law enforcement groups and donors to stop long-overdue criminal justice system reforms that are being championed by a new generation of prosecutors, like Gascón and Boudin.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"forum_2010101887969,news_11906253,news_11908825\"]“Well, I think there's vested interests, right? A big majority of the funds coming into these campaigns are from police associations, police lobbying money,” DeBerry said. “And they have an approach that's both based in their political beliefs, but also the benefit of having a large police force, a large jail system, a large probation system. All of those things create jobs for [their] members and continue their political power in the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gascón’s critics say recent reform initiatives, like his vow not to pursue the death penalty in the most egregious cases, and his move to ban prosecutors from seeking enhanced sentences for defendants, undermine the deterrence effect of LA’s harder-line crime policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón’s reforms also have created significant opposition within his own office. In February, the Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles, which represents about 700 rank-and-file prosecutors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/22/los-angeles-prosecutors-progressive-da-gascon-00010798\">voted 98% in support\u003c/a> of Gascón’s recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as the effort to replace him heats up, Gascón appears to be retreating from some past positions. He recently said he was open to \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/criminal-justice/la-da-gascon-issues-statement-explaining-why-hes-changing-course-on-juvenile-policy-reversal\">trying as adults some juveniles\u003c/a> who are accused of especially heinous crimes, and to seek life sentences without the possibility of parole for some adult defendants — both practices he previously vowed to ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to recall strategies, Cooley contends that unlike last year’s failed campaign against Gascón — one he says was run by “amateurs” — the effort this time around is better organized and funded, with a war chest of some $3.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current campaign, Cooley adds, also benefits from growing public anxiety about safety, an issue he predicts will generate voter support from more suburban and affluent areas of LA County that traditionally haven’t worried as much about crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think you're going to need, across the board, individuals that feel this is directly affecting me and I fear for my children, my family, my neighborhood, my community and, to a certain extent, my county,” Cooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.standwithgascon.org/\">Gascón and his allies\u003c/a> are fighting back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference in December to mark his first year in office, more than a dozen progressive district attorneys from across the country praised Gascón’s reform efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909717\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11909717\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A man in a suit stands at a lectern, with multiple men and women behind him.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">LA DA George Gascón at a press conference on Dec. 8, 2021, marking his one-year anniversary on the job.

Some of those incidents received an enormous amount of media coverage, like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-12-01/wife-of-music-executive-clarence-avant-fatally-shot-at-trousdale-estates-home\">December slaying of prominent philanthropist Jacqueline Avant\u003c/a> — the wife of legendary music producer Clarence Avant — during a robbery attempt at her Beverly Hills home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gascón’s defenders argue that recall supporters, like Cooley, are bent on portraying him as a soft-on-crime stereotype, a characterization they call wholly disingenuous given his deep law enforcement experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DA Gascón spent 30 years as a police officer, 30 years in LAPD. He has dedicated his entire life to making the communities safe,” said Cristine Soto DeBerry, executive director of the Prosecutors Alliance of California, a group that supports progressive DAs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeBerry believes the campaign to unseat Gascón is part of a wider effort among conservative law enforcement groups and donors to stop long-overdue criminal justice system reforms that are being championed by a new generation of prosecutors, like Gascón and Boudin.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"label":"Related Stories ","postid":"forum_2010101887969,news_11906253,news_11908825"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>“Well, I think there's vested interests, right? A big majority of the funds coming into these campaigns are from police associations, police lobbying money,” DeBerry said. “And they have an approach that's both based in their political beliefs, but also the benefit of having a large police force, a large jail system, a large probation system. All of those things create jobs for [their] members and continue their political power in the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Gascón’s critics say recent reform initiatives, like his vow not to pursue the death penalty in the most egregious cases, and his move to ban prosecutors from seeking enhanced sentences for defendants, undermine the deterrence effect of LA’s harder-line crime policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón’s reforms also have created significant opposition within his own office. In February, the Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles, which represents about 700 rank-and-file prosecutors, \u003ca href=\"https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/22/los-angeles-prosecutors-progressive-da-gascon-00010798\">voted 98% in support\u003c/a> of Gascón’s recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as the effort to replace him heats up, Gascón appears to be retreating from some past positions. He recently said he was open to \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/news/criminal-justice/la-da-gascon-issues-statement-explaining-why-hes-changing-course-on-juvenile-policy-reversal\">trying as adults some juveniles\u003c/a> who are accused of especially heinous crimes, and to seek life sentences without the possibility of parole for some adult defendants — both practices he previously vowed to ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to recall strategies, Cooley contends that unlike last year’s failed campaign against Gascón — one he says was run by “amateurs” — the effort this time around is better organized and funded, with a war chest of some $3.5 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current campaign, Cooley adds, also benefits from growing public anxiety about safety, an issue he predicts will generate voter support from more suburban and affluent areas of LA County that traditionally haven’t worried as much about crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think you're going to need, across the board, individuals that feel this is directly affecting me and I fear for my children, my family, my neighborhood, my community and, to a certain extent, my county,” Cooley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.standwithgascon.org/\">Gascón and his allies\u003c/a> are fighting back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference in December to mark his first year in office, more than a dozen progressive district attorneys from across the country praised Gascón’s reform efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11909717\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11909717\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A man in a suit stands at a lectern, with multiple men and women behind him.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/03/Gascon-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">LA DA George Gascón at a press conference on Dec. 8, 2021, marking his one-year anniversary on the job.
