5-7 months in juvenile detention
-
Per multiple law enforcement sources, the juvie was on probation, & violating it, at the time of this hit & run, and he had been previously convicted of felony poisoning after he spiked a teen girl’s drink at Palmdale high school in 2019. She was hospitalized.
Despite the juvie’s criminal history, sources in the LA DA’s office tell me that in accordance with his policies, Gascon’s admin didn’t charge the juvie w/ assault w/ a deadly weapon or attempted murder for the hit & run, which led to light juvie camp sentence.
Gascon’s office told me
@LASDHQ
agreed with the lesser charges in the case. After
@LACoSheriff
pushed back & said LASD had no involvement in the case or the “lightweight sentencing”, Gascon’s office admitted LASD wasn’t involved & told me they will “correct” their statement -
Another Soros DA.
