McKinney Aims to Bring Balance to Criminal Justice System in Race for L.A. District Attorney

“I think Mr. Gascón has taken us a little too far to one side, and we’ve lost our ability to hold people accountable. If we can’t hold people accountable, we can’t rehabilitate. We can’t correct behavior. We can’t make people who are actually victims of crime feel that they’ve received some sense of justice, so that’s really what’s driving me,” said deputy district attorney John Mckinney, who is running for Los Angeles District Attorney.
