Deborah Archiletta, Judge Deborah Archiletta is one of the candidates to replace Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon that so many of us know and love.

She was part of the debate last week and it's she's been with us before and she's here again.

Judge, how are you?

Well, good afternoon. Before we get started, I want to extend my condolences to the Barrera family,

because not only are they devastated, I feel devastated, as should the residents of the county of Los Angeles

with what has transpired with this tragic case. So I wanted to at least get that out of the way.

No, no, I'm glad you did. I just for people are just joining us, she's referring to

Pedro Barrera, who is killed by a man named Victor D'Arta Macias. D'Warta Macias was

fleeing the cops, crashed into Barrera's car. Barre's totally an innocent driver. First,

it severed Barrera's arm, and then six weeks later he died. The thing is,

he was let, D'Worda Macias was let out no bail on his own recognizance. And now he blew through

his court date, and he's never been charged with murder or any or manslaughter

anything like that so i now because i was reading this story i just became aware of it

uh last hour fox 11 had did something last night on it what's the protocol here i mean is this

a george gascon policy? Well, this sounds like a

George Gascon special because in the 26 years, I was a prosecutor in the district attorney's

office. This would never have been allowed to happen. So this is the lack of leadership by the

current district attorney.

And frankly, I was shocked.
