L.A. County Dist. Atty. George Gascón backtracks and says the two-year sentence in a Palmdale child molestation case may have been 'too short.'
The county’s top prosecutor, who on Fridaythat prohibit pursuing life sentences against defendants and trying juveniles as adults, said in the statement that he was made aware after Hannah Tubbs’ sentencing of “extremely troubling statements she made about her case, the resolution of it and the young girl that she harmed.”
“While for most people several years of jail time is adequate, it may not be for Ms. Tubbs,” Gascón said in the statement. “If we knew about her disregard for the harm she caused we would have handled this case differently. The complex issues and facts of her particular case were unusual, and I should have treated them that way. This change in policy will allow us the space to do that moving forward.
In Sunday’s statement, Gascón appears to indicate that Tubbs’ case could have been considered “extraordinary” under this new system. He said his office has “now implemented policies to create a different pathway for outlier cases while simultaneously creating protections to prevent these exceptions from becoming the rule.”
The policy changes come as Gascón is facing increased criticism over his handling of juvenile cases and the political pressure of a second attempt to recall him from office. The committee seeking to recall Gascón from office has already raised $1.
