    In his own review of his first year in office, Gascón touts that juveniles are no longer being charged as adults, that he has eliminated many sentencing enhancements that contribute to “mass incarceration,” that he has ended cash bail for nonviolent felony offenses and that he is diverting misdemeanors associated with substance abuse, poverty and mental illness out of the criminal justice system.

    I agree with all those things but it is his own opinion and others may have different ideas of his success in those areas. One problem is reducing capital murder down to 25 years - out in 20.

    I don't know the details of the guy but one thing I do believe in is stopping capital punishment as long as the innocent are being executed. More modern techniques, DNA, etc.
