As Rick Caruso and Karen Bass prepare to go head to head in the November runoff election, they are also fighting over support for the city attorney candidate.
"Rick: you may be filthy rich, but no amount of money can change the truth," Gill said in a statement."Never did I say I would not prosecute egregious crimes as city attorney. The crimes Caruso lists that I allegedly won't prosecute are entirely fabricated, made up out of whole cloth."
Gill said he intends to implement mental-health diversions in cases involving minor offenses, such as loitering, drug possession, minors possessing alcohol and failure to appear in court. According to his website, his 100-day pause in filings would not pertain to cases that are"particularly egregious or time-sensitive."
Responding to the criticism from Caruso, however, Bass' campaign issued a statement saying she withdrew her support of Gill earlier this week. "Karen Bass absolutely disagrees with Faisal Gill's proposal for a 100-day moratorium on misdemeanor criminal filings, and in fact, our campaign contacted the Gill campaign and withdrew the endorsement on Wednesday," according to the campaign."Unlike Rick Caruso, Karen Bass has personally worked in some of LA's toughest neighborhoods against gangs, robberies and other criminal activity.
"Rick's on the attack because he can't defend his Republican, anti-choice career. His campaign is based on slogans, not solutions for Los Angeles."
