Warning!
Fox News’s Bill MeluginIt was reported that the teenager driver, who was given a mild sentence for his attack on the mother and baby with her drug-fuelled car was still on parole.
THREAD (1/4) A 16 y/o hit & run driver in a stolen car who ran over a mom & child in Venice was sentenced on Friday to 5-7 months in juvie camp. LA DA @GeorgeGascon office tells me this was an “appropriate resolution”, but I’ve learned he has a prior criminal history. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/HupMw9KRFu

Melugin reports
Per multiple law enforcement sources, the juvie was on probation, & violating it, at the time of this hit & run, and he had been previously convicted of felony poisoning after he spiked a teen girl’s drink at Palmdale high school in 2019. She was admitted to hospital.
He is not a teen angel that made bad choices. A so-called teen angel poisoned her, and she was hospitalized. Now, he has taken two innocent victims to the grave. This psychopath is dangerous and must be put behind bars.
This revelation will cause more outrage.
RedState reports that George Gascon, the LA County District attorney pursued soft-on-crime charges against suspect. This despite horrific video footage and witness testimony. And although Gascon describes the mother’s injuries as a mere “laceration to her elbow,” they were actually quite gruesome. She and her baby are both alive because of her extraordinary quick thinking and bravery.
The teen was ordered to serve a mere 5-7 months in a “probation camp” and will have his record expunged when he turns 18. Incredibly, probation camp is described as “an alternative sentence less severe than juvenile detention.” This attacker didn’t even rate juvenile detention?
Melugin also said he spoke with the mother Sunday, identified only as Rachel, and that she was “unaware of his criminal history, or that he was on probation when the hit & run took place. She is furious about the light sentence and how this case was handled.”
She stated:
George Gascon feels that five years of prison is enough punishment for someone with a criminal history who tried to kill my son and me. Gascon’s office took the time to falsely comment on my case, but has taken no time to ask how we’re doing. That’s because he doesn’t care. Gascon and his team are emphasizing their incompetence, and disdain for viticms.
In our previous reporting, we have shown how awful Gascon’s soft on crime policies have been for LA, how he even told falsehoods about this case (saying untruthfully that Sherriff Alex Villanueva supported the light charges, when he most certainly did not), how crime has gone through the roof as perps know they can get away with just about anything, how Gascon robotically shows zero compassion for the victims, and how Gascon is currently the subject of a serious recall effort.
These new details shed a darker light on Gascon’s willingness to go to defend criminals.
