The case was tried in juvenile court because of Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s policy of never trying juveniles as adults. As a result of the juvenile sentence, the convicted assailant, Hannah Tubbs, who has several other criminal convictions, will not have to register as a sex offender.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Los Angeles<\/em><em> Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-02-18\/los-angeles-da-gascon-backtracks-juveniles-life-sentences\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;Friday that Gasc\u00f3n is now backing away from his policy on juvenile trials, and a few others:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Los Angeles County prosecutors can now seek to try juveniles as adults and pursue life sentences against defendants in certain cases, according to memos issued Friday by Dist. Atty. George Gasc\u00f3n, marking a major shift in his all-or-nothing stances on certain criminal justice reform issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Committees will be created to evaluate \u201cextraordinary\u201d cases where a defendant\u2019s conduct might require harsher penalties than those allowed under Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s policies, according to documents reviewed by The Times.<\/p>\n<p>In cases involving juvenile defendants, that could mean transferring their cases to adult court. In murder cases, that means prosecutors can now seek to file special circumstance allegations against a defendant in certain situations \u2014 such as killing a police officer who is on duty or killing a witness \u2014 making them eligible for a maximum sentence of life without parole.<\/p>\n<p>Under California law, defendants convicted of murder with special circumstances can only be sentenced to death or life without parole, but Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s ban on the use of capital punishment was not affected by Friday\u2019s announcement. Gov. Gavin Newsom has also issued a moratorium on the use of the death penalty statewide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Democrats have refused to denounce prosecutors like Gasc\u00f3n, who was endorsed by the state\u2019s political establishment. L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti even switched his endorsement from incumbent Jackie Lacey, the first black woman to hold the job of L.A. District Attorney, to Gasc\u00f3n after Black Lives Matter targeted Lacey and Soros gave millions to Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>A second recall campaign was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/crime\/2022\/01\/30\/l-a-county-registrar-clears-recall-petition-2-0-for-soros-backed-george-gascon\/\">approved<\/a> to begin gathering signatures last month, after a previous effort fell short last year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
