L.A. District Attorney Gascon Strikes Again
California murderer released 6 years into 50-year sentence arrested again on gun, DUI charges after car chase
Quote:A reputed gang member and convicted murderer who got out of prison decades early with help from Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon is facing new felony charges, according to authorities.
Andrew Cachu was released in November after Deputy District Attorney Alisa Blair, a close Gascon ally, declined to present evidence at a hearing to determine whether he should remain in custody after aging out of the juvenile detention facility when he turned 25, Fox News Digital reported at the time.
The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said Cachu had been involved in a chase Wednesday evening.
Lt. L. Arnold told Fox News Digital that deputies responded to a report of a person passed out in a car blocking driving lanes when they encountered Cachu apparently asleep with a gun in the car.
"He came to and a pursuit happened, a vehicle pursuit," Arnold said. "He crashed the car, foot pursuit, deputies detained him."
During the chase, Cachu allegedly ditched the firearm, which deputies said they recovered.
He faces 11 charges total, including evading arrest, unlawful possession of a firearm, and driving under the influence.
"He was obviously under the influence," Arnold said, adding that police found "many drugs" in the vehicle.
Cachu was 17 in March 2015 when he gunned down Louis Amela, 41, outside the Sky Burger restaurant in Palmdale during a robbery, according to court documents.
"He never should have been out on the streets," Kathy Cady, a California attorney representing Amela's family, told Fox News Digital Thursday. "The only reason he was out on the streets is because of Gascon's policies and his handpicked surrogate, Alisa Blair, refused to put up any evidence…at the hearing."
Cachu shot Amela in the back as the man struggled with a group of assailants trying to steal his bicycle in a gang-motivated robbery, according to court documents. The victim’s girlfriend told investigators that two males, also believed to be gang members, held Amela down as Cachu fired two shots.
Cachu was tried prior to Gascon’s election, and although he was juvenile at the time of the crime, was prosecuted and convicted as an adult, court documents show.

Gascon simply following his orders from Soros. The objective is to turn the LA area into a "criminal free" zone.
Hopefully the second recall effort against this dumb@ss Gascon will be successful.
Until then, LAX citizens must TOLERATE the coddling of the criminals in your city.

I thought the ongoing recall was the first, but looking at the timeline I see the first effort fell short on voter signatures.
Gascon is actually fighting his own deputy DAs who have taken him to court for refusing to let them follow California law in their trial efforts.
https://law.justia.com/cases/california/...10845.html
Quote:In December2020 the new district attorney adopted several “Special Directives” concerning sentencing, sentence enhancements, and resentencing that made significant changes to the policies of his predecessor. In essence, the Special Directives prohibited deputy district attorneys in most cases from alleging prior serious or violent felony convictions (commonly referred to as “strikes”) under the three strikes law or sentence enhancements and required deputy district attorneys in pending cases to move to dismiss or seek leave to remove from the charging document allegations of strikes and sentence enhancements. The Special Directives’ stated objectives, through these policies, were to promote the “interests of justice and public safety” by reducing “long sentences” that“ do little” to deter crime
The ADAs won the suit, and won the appeal stating that a DA could not on their own get rid of the special circumstances issues across the board.
Gascon appealed the ruling to the CA Supreme Court, and has hired the most expensive attorney in the nation (literally, the former solicitor general of the United States, at a reported $2700/ hour) to represent his office in the matter on taxpayer dime.
Gascon is truly cancer.

The incumbent Shelby County (Memphis) DA is Republican Amy Weirich.
Her Democratic opponent is Steve Mulroy. He's running on "criminal reform".
Families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake endorse Steve Mulroy for DA
Quote:Shelby County District Attorney candidate Steve Mulroy received an endorsement from the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and others impacted by police brutality during their visit to the Bluff City.
I wonder who organized this.

Could it be... Soros?
I told my wife if you don't vote for anyone else Aug 4. make sure you vote for Amy if you don't want to see Shelby County become Minneapolis, Philadelphia, etc.
She has a tendency to procrastinate, get busy and not go vote.

The weird thing is that a Soros group dumped close to two million dollars into a school district election here in the Austin area. A school district election.....
