A statewide association of prosecutors yesterday said it will seek leave to file an amicus curiae brief in Los Angeles Superior Court in support of the position of the local county prosecutors’ union that “special directives” issued by District Attorney George Gascón are unlawful.
That announcement came the same day that the Victims of Violent Crime for the Recall of George Gascón declared that it has filed papers enabling it to accept campaign donations and that it will begin circulating a recall petition on March 8. Collecting of signatures is legally barred until a public official has been in office for at least 90 days.
