Another example of why executions should be carried out promptly.

If LA had an NY Post-like tabloid, it would scream “Gascon wants dead Asians”.

This guy needs to be recalled and exiled at the same time.

Why? He will still be on death row.
IMHO this is about sending a message to China and Japan.

If Gascon takes his place in the Gas Chamber, I would grant the motion.

Eighty years ago it was like maybe a year; earlier than that just several months.
It's typical of the maudlin left liberals to excuse a criminal because of how THEY were treated.

He’ll eventually be released to kill again. As surely as the turning of the earth.

On February 15, 1933, while shaking hands with President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt at Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida, Anton Cermak, the Mayor of Chicago, was shot in the lung and mortally wounded by Giuseppe Zangara, who was attempting to assassinate Roosevelt. Zangara hit four other people: all four of those injuries were minor. (Wikipedia)
The shooting happened on February 15, 1933. Zangara was tried, convicted and executed on March 20, 1933. That is 35 days from crime to execution.
Compared to Zangara, the guy in this story has been cruising for free for 28 years. If you count the time spent in a new unit of measure called a Zangara, that guy has been living at taxpayer expense for over 290 Zangaras.
ALL CRIME VICTIMS DESERVE THE JUSTICE THAT THE MAYOR OF CHICAGO GOT. Of course, Cermak also got a street named after him, but that is a consolation for the family, not the victim.

“The shooting happened on February 15, 1933. Zangara was tried, convicted and executed on March 20, 1933. That is 35 days from crime to execution.”
Cermak didn’t die until March 6 when Zangara’s crime became murder. That’s 14 days by my reckoning. So your Zangara unit needs to be quite a bit shorter.
This is still, just barely, within living memory. Now a guy sits on death row for nearly 3 decades for three murders with there being little if any chance that he will be executed by the state.
I watch a lot of movies set in the UK in the 30s, 40s and 50s. If you murdered and you were caught, and found guilty, you would go to the gallows. Likely within a year of your crime. Now people accused of murder are let out on bail. I can’t say that we’ve progressed

“the interests are best served by resentencing the defendant,” the petition reads.” Whose interests is he talking about? Interesting choice of words in a plea.

so just allowing Asians to be assaulted on a daily basis isn’t enough now...

For all intents and purposes California has no death penalty.
The courts refuse to carry it out, in spite of the citizens repeatedly voting for it. But in true California voter fashion, they just shrug and keep voting D.

264-page resentencing recommendation
That’s the problem right there... It took 264 pages to recommend a resentencing.
