A Los Angeles man who received no jail time and mental health diversion for a 2021 stabbing that nearly killed a man is now charged with his neighbor's murder.
"One of the things Gascon does is manipulate things with the charging," said John Lewin, the prosecutor who put real estate heir turned murderer Robert Durst behind bars."You make it a discount with assault with a deadly weapon, and you give him mental health diversion. It doesn’t look as bad as attempted murder."
District Attorney George Gascon speaks about the Monterey Park mass shooting during a news conference outside the Hall of Justice in Los Angeles Monday, Jan 23, 2023. But it's not just Gascon, according to Eric Siddall, vice president of the Los Angeles County Association of Deputy District Attorneys. It stems from a long history of failures by"By all estimation, this person actually did have a serious mental health condition, but you just can't put someone who stabbed someone back on the street," he told Fox News Digital."That's not a solution. It's irresponsible.
The proposed facility would have been completed by April. It was the solution to replace an aging county jail concocted by a bipartisan commission. However, the plan was ultimately"torpedoed" by the county board of supervisors, the old jail was torn down and the county declined to build anything new."You can't really blame it all on Gascon," Siddall said.
