Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón reportedly has a 10,000-case backlog, causing further frustration among prosecutors as a local judge reinstated a “no cash bail” policy for non-violent offenses.
The reports about the criminal case backlog come from whistleblowers, who spoke to the New York Post:
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is an “authoritarian” and “toxic” manager whose ultra-woke approach has led scores of prosecutors to quit and 10,000 cases to pile up, sources tell The Post.
…
One former LA prosecutor said Gascón’s policies have eroded trust with the public the office serves, through generous plea deals allowing criminals to get out of jail or prison without serving hard time or declining to prosecute crimes at all.
…
“Gascón is so focused on justice for black and brown defendants, but the victims and their families are also black and brown. Where is the justice for them? We are making them victims of the criminal justice system yet again.”

LA is getting exactly what it deserves.
LA voted for this s___t. Reap what you sow.
Sounds like Kim Gardner, the former St. Louis prosecutor.
My guess is there’s no backlog. He has no intention of filing any of them.
Conditions of non prosecution include filling out these here mail-in ballots using these names.
10,000-case Backlog?
LOL...Ferrget about it..Leave it to the professional lawyer politicians...
What a disaster...
10,000-case backlog,

How many of those 10,000 are the same defendants
It has been shown that most crimes are committed by the same small group. In California when the three strike rule was enforced and repeat offenders sent to jail or prison crime went down. Of course today DA gets around this by not prosecuting or lowering the crime from a felony to something else.
This comes as a Superior Court judge says keeping people locked up because they can’t afford bail is a serious constitutional violation.
