LOS ANGELES—A California appellate court has ruled that Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón can’t reject charging three-strike allegations and sentencing enhancements.
A three-judge panel of the California Second District Court of Appeal on June 2 upheld in a 71-page injunction that “voters and the Legislature created a duty, enforceable in mandamus, that requires prosecutors to plead prior serious or violent felony convictions to ensure the alternative sentencing scheme created by the three strikes law applies to repeat offenders.”
