Is this DA elected? I understand that California is very different from my homes of Texas and Mississippi but I have insisted all along that the only person the DA needed to consult in deciding to seek the death penalty in this case would be his campaign manager.

I think the DA is hired for his qualifications in California, and that is it not a political office, as it is where I live. I grew up in California, and I prefer things to be the California way. I see no reason for this to be a political office.
