According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/la-county-da-gang-member-murder-adult?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20foxnews%2Fnational%20%28Internal%20-%20US%20Latest%20-%20Text%29\">reports<\/a> Thursday, Democrat George Gascon withdrew a motion to transfer the case of 20-year-old Jalen Yoakum to adult court.<\/p>\n<p>Yoakum plead guilty to a murder charge arising from the 2017 shooting of 40-year-old Ontario Courtney. The move is part of Gascon\u2019s policy of no longer trying any underage offenders as adults regardless of the severity of their crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, prosecutors have said Yoakum has been unapologetic and has even bragged about his gang affiliation during his incarceration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to go out there and act like a man and shoot and kill people, then you are going to be treated that way, \u201d stated Allyson Ostrowski, pro-bono attorney for the victim\u2019s family.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In his first 100 days, District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n has instituted a new approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/youthjustice?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#youthjustice<\/a>.
