Progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon is walking back his claim that the county sheriff’s department “agreed with the felony charges” and lenient sentencing against a teenager who was convicted of driving a car into a mother and her 8-month-old son.
The 17-year-old pleaded guilty to two felony charges of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and one felony count of hit-and-run, but was sentenced to spend five to seven months in a juvenile probation camp. Prosecutors describe the camp as “less than a military school and a little bit tougher than a summer camp.”
The initial incident happened on Aug. 6, 2021.
An initial statement by Gascon provided to Fox News Digital said that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department agreed with the charges and sentencing.
“Fortunately, the baby was uninjured, and the mother received a laceration to her elbow,” his office told Fox News Digital Friday.
“The Sheriff’s Department agreed with the felony charges that were filed. At arraignment, the minor admitted two felony counts of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury and one felony count of hit-and-run. The Probation Department recommended, and the court sentenced the minor to a youth camp for five to seven months, an appropriate resolution.”

After Los Angeles Sheriff Alex Villanueva called out Gascon and said “We were never consulted as we were not the investigating agency,” Gascon’s office corrected the statement on Saturday, stating that the sheriff’s office was not involved.
“Need to correct our statement from yesterday. LASD was not involved in the decision on the felony charge, as they were not the investigating agency in that case,” a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said.

PURE EVIL!
DA Gascon, not only justifying and coddling criminals, but, what did Biden call Peter Doocy? Ah yes, a dumbsonofabitch.
When I first saw this, I wondered about the wording. ‘Mowed down’ or ‘lacerated elbow’.... how are these compatible? Then I read the NY Post piece.... The kid and Gascon both need to lined up on a wall...
- Stolen car
- Deliberate attempt to run the mother and baby over and then lied about it
- Hit and run
“As the car approached me and my child, I stopped walking and moved the stroller and myself up against a building on the right side of the road to ensure that we gave the reckless driver plenty of room to pass,” Rachel said. “As the car got dangerously close to us, [the juvenile suspect] turned the wheels in our direction and accelerated as he aimed to kill us.”
“I was also told that his record would be wiped clean when he turns 18,” she continued. “How on earth can that be? He tried to murder two innocent pedestrians. Murder. And we have video evidence. My child would be dead if I hadn’t been there to protect him.”
“Walks back” = “Caught in a lie”
“LA DA”
So, would the Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney be “LA-D-DA”?
So....
Waiting for a reporter to ask him LIVE: “What makes you believe that it is okay to tell an outright lie in an attempt to cover up your malfeasance?”
Gascon needs to be mowed down by one of those he’s protecting.
Soft sentences for criminals and gun control. The Elites are mocking us
So Gascon lied?
