Arthur,
While we wait for the Registrar to verify the 715,833 signatures we submitted, George Gascon’s Los Angeles continues to slide into disorder. On Tuesday, Andrew Cachu, a convicted murderer who George Gascon released from prison decades early, was arrested on gun and DUI charges after leading police on a chase. In 2015, Cachu, 17 at the time, executed 41-year-old Louis Amela outside a restaurant in Palmdale while robbing him. Cachu was charged as an adult, convicted, and sentenced to 50 years to life. Last year, Cachu asked for a new sentence. Gascon and his handpicked deputy Alisa Blair could have requested to keep Cachu in prison. They declined to do so, ultimately resulting in his release. What happened Tuesday was preventable and predictable. Releasing a murderer after only 5 years is dangerous, reckless, and disqualifying. It’s a miracle no bystanders or police were harmed.
