A newly-elected Los Angeles district attorney is ending cash bail and vowed to stop the death penalty, despite rising trends in violent crime throughout the city.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, who assumed office on Monday after defeating an 8-year incumbent, relinquished the practice of cash bail, seeks to put an end to capital punishment and would stop the practice of trying juveniles as adults, according to CNN. The DA’s move may result in the release of hundreds of inmates as early as Tuesday, CNN reported.
