LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County deputy district attorneys’ union filed a lawsuit to prevent District Attorney George Gascón from allegedly hiring more political supporters as unqualified prosecutors.
The union is also asking that Gascón’s office not take any action to deny eligibility to candidates that have applied for open prosecutor positions while appeals are being heard to challenge Gascón’s hiring earlier this year of former longtime Deputy Public Defenders Alisa Blair, Tiffiny Blacknell, and Shelan Joseph.
