LA DA's 'catastrophic incompetence' could botch case against convicted double child killer, lawyer warns
Fox News
A former top LA prosecutor facing 11 felony charges has the same defense lawyer as a convicted killer whose trial she oversaw, which has sparked conflict-of-interest concerns.
"Gascon is more interested in protecting Diana Teran than he is the office or the public or the victims."
After a murder trial that ended in February, jurors found the 60-year-old guilty of killing Jacob Iskander, 8, and his brother, Mark, 11, in a 2020 crash.
She has not yet been sentenced but faces up to 34 years in prison – a punishment that critics say may be in jeopardy because of alleged corruption and "incompetence" in the office of Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, whose former No. 3 aide indirectly supervised the prosecution and now has the same defense lawyer as the convicted killer.
