Series on Criminal Justice System in Los Angeles
- Share via
Freed’s series on the legal system in Los Angeles is an outstanding piece of journalism. At the same time, it is totally disheartening to those of us who risk our lives to protect the people of Los Angeles. What’s the point in chasing an armed robber down a dark alley if he will be out on unsupervised probation in a few months? By their unwillingness to pay for an adequate number of police, prosecutors, public defenders, judges, jails and prisons, the people of Los Angeles are saying that they really don’t care if they live in a jungle.
