Deputy DA seeks release of judges records on leniency
Los Angeles County deputy district attorney David Ross plans to press the Public Records Act to obtain individual judges sentencing data. He argues Los Angeles is unique in coding judges' homes in computers and that public access to per-judge outcomes is blocked. Ross contends county judges hand down less state prison time than peers in other counties. He cites several examples of leniency in Pasadena Pomona and downtown LA courts and says public safety requires disclosure of how judges sentence criminals.
