District Attorney Gascon punishes a prosecutor for not respecting Tubb's political games.

Examining the Impact of Progressive Prosecution: George Gascon's Controversial Tenure in San Francisco and Los Angeles County's Criminal Justice Reform

The Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon has suspended a prosecutor for allegedly misgendering and deadnaming a trans child molester accused of murder. During court proceedings, the prosecutor reportedly referred to the suspect, Hannah Tubbs, with her birth name and incorrect pronouns.

Controversy surrounds George Gascon's efforts to reform the criminal justice system in Los Angeles County. The recent suspension of a prosecutor for misgendering and deadnaming a trans child molester accused of murder has prompted debate about the ethics of Gascon's approach. Meanwhile, the case of Hannah Tubbs, who is charged with murder and robbery, has also come under scrutiny, with more disturbing jailhouse phone calls surfacing.

Tubbs is accused of robbing and murdering a 70-year-old man in his home in West Los Angeles, to which she has pleaded not guilty. She has also pleaded guilty to molesting a 10-year-old girl in 2014.

In addition, more disturbing jailhouse calls made by Tubbs have surfaced, revealing her violent and criminal behavior. It also shows Tubbs bragging about a light sentence and claiming she will get a sex change to go in the female jail. Gascon's office was aware of these calls, but no action was taken until the media picked up the story. Showing once again Gascon is on the side of the criminals making Los Angeles County residents less safe with him as District Attorney. 

Gascon's decision to punish the prosecutor for allegedly misgendering and deadnaming Tubbs has raised questions about his priorities as the Los Angeles District Attorney. Some have argued that the punishment is unwarranted, given the serious nature of the charges against Tubbs. However, Gascon is more interested in appeasing the trans community than seeking justice for the real victims.

Gascon's actions have also been criticized for potentially setting a dangerous precedent in criminal cases. The punishment of a prosecutor for using incorrect pronouns could be seen as an infringement on free speech and due process and could lead to similar cases in the future.

Tubbs's case is ongoing, and she has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The revelations of her violent and criminal behavior, combined with the mishandling of the case by Gascon's office, have further complicated an already contentious issue.

The case of Hannah Tubbs has raised important questions about handling criminal cases involving the trans community and the role of prosecutors and district attorneys in seeking justice for victims of heinous crimes. However, the seriousness of the charges against Tubbs should take precedence over political correctness. The ongoing investigation and trial will determine the case's outcome, but the controversy will likely continue for some time.

Debate continues over the impact of George Gascon's criminal justice reforms on San Francisco, as similar policies are implemented in Los Angeles County.

While many criminal justice reformers see Gascon as a champion of alternative sentencing and reducing prison populations, some have criticized his tenure in San Francisco, where he served as district attorney for eight years. During this time, his progressive policies and initiatives were met with opposition. For example, many argue that his diversion programs for low-level offenders increased property crime and car break-ins.

Gascon's filing rates in San Francisco show that his prosecutors filed criminal charges in about half the felonies and 40% of misdemeanors presented to his office from 2011 to 2019. Critics argue that Gascon's reluctance to open new cases and his diversion programs for low-level offenders removed the threat of punishment, leading to a surge in property crime and car break-ins.

Gascon insists that frustrations with him in San Francisco largely stem from resistance to his reform initiatives. He also champions the use of a risk evaluation tool to determine pretrial release instead of making release dependent on financial situations.

Despite the controversy, some criminal justice reformers believe that Gascon is genuinely dedicated to police reform. However, his critics believe that his progressive reputation is more myth than reality, and that his policies were disastrous for many neighborhoods. The impact of his policies in San Francisco is under a microscope as San Francisco has become unlivable, and Los Angeles County seems to be following suite.
