LOS ANGELES—Another veteran prosecutor is suing Los Angeles County, alleging he has been defamed, denied promotions, and had his fitness to practice law questioned because he has been outspoken of District Attorney George Gascón’s reform directives.
Deputy District Attorney Jon Hatami’s lawsuit alleges retaliation, race discrimination, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. He joins a growing number of prosecutors in recent months alleging retaliation for voicing criticism.
