District Attorney Gascón: Part 3

Imperfect Paradise

George Gascón faces backlash from inside his own D.A.’s office and from the public. He’s become a national scapegoat  for right-wing media.  LAist Correspondent Frank Stoltze explores how Gascón’s policies have played out for people imprisoned, like Jose Santana, and families of victims. And Frank speaks to recalled San Francisco D.A. Chesa Boudin about his experience and whether the November election could be a referendum on not only Gascón, but also the national progressive DA movement.
