Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón’s reform-minded outlook on juvenile justice seemed made for someone like Denmonne Lee.
When he was 16, Lee took part in an Antelope Valley gas station robbery that ended in the death of former Marine John Ruh. Lee, who was acquainted with the victim, had planned the 2018 robbery and provided a weapon to his co-defendant, according to court records. Although Lee wasn’t the shooter, he was charged with murder.
But when Gascón took office two years later, as Lee’s case was making its way through the court system, he barred prosecutors from trying juveniles as adults. Lee was convicted and ordered held at the county’s Secure Youth Treatment Facility in Sylmar until he turned 25.
Lee “responded very well” to programs in custody, authorities said. Within a year, probation officials moved him from the high-security Sylmar facility into a rehabilitation-focused setting in Malibu. After being released to a halfway house last June, Lee enrolled in community college and found work at a local nonprofit.
And then, in April, he was arrested and charged with playing a major role in another homicide.
The case has given Gascón’s critics an opportunity to directly link the progressive district attorney’s policies to a violent crime that some argue could have been prevented had Lee faced a stiffer penalty in adult court. Nathan Hochman, Gascón’s opponent as he seeks reelection in November, has spent significant time shouting out high-profile crimes that he contends are symptoms of the incumbent’s policies.

This is why the death penalty for murder needs to be brought back.
There NEVER should have been a second chance. Murderers and rapists and child molesters need to be dragged to the town square and hung until dead at high noon—in public.
I away the day when someone’s relative is killed by one of these beneficiaries of a dumb diversion metes out justice to the prosecutor.
Long past time for the families of these victims to exact their revenge against these rogue DAs. That will make it end
As Garfield sometimes put it “they need to be dragged out into the street and shot.”

Yep. Interestingly enough, California has not abolished the death penalty. It’s still on the books. But no CA governor these days will sign a death warrant.
Secure Youth Treatment Facility in Sylmar
Been there doing charity work. It’s a prison.
Denmonne.
Not sure, but this looks like an anagram of Me A Demon.
Give him another chance. Maybe third time’s the charm. With a little luck, he’ll rid the world of George Gascón while he’s out, and another street thug will put the little bastard out of operation permanently.
Let's start with Gavin Newsom, who ordered a halt to executions in California in March 2019.
Well, you have to admit, he did get a second chance. And further more he took it.
It used to be a juvenile hall...Not any longer...
At this time, LA County has only one juvenile hall open...In Downey...There were 3 juvenile halls many years ago...

Hochman is leading Gascon by 20 points in the polls. It will be difficult to overcome that advantage via vote fraud - but I’m sure the dems will try.
It’s going to be a sweet victory indeed when Gascon is defeated.
Can’t hardly wait...
LOL

being punished in Malibu....how awful....
Forget about Denmonne (Is that pronounced Demon-ee?). Charge Gascón with the killing.
My family has lived in Palmdale going on 40 years. LA county has been shipping ‘them’ from los Angeles for generations and putting them up in public section 8 housing. Now, it is a violent s hole.
