Speeding down a residential road in a street race against her former Major League Baseball player boyfriend, Los Angeles socialite Rebecca Grossman had drugs and alcohol in her system when prosecutors say she slammed into two children in a crosswalk, killing both, in Westlake Village, California. Their mother, California biotech executive Nancy Iskander, grabbed her third boy and dove out of the way.
What's going to happen is every single defendant who ever had a case in which Diana Turin was a supervisor is now going to file a new trial motion to try and get a new trial based on her own prosecutorial misconduct,' Hochman said. Most prosecutors would have flagged the potential conflict of interest immediately, and the judge would likely have prevented Spertus from joining Grossman's team as a result, Hochman said.
Already Gascon has an anti-victim perspective on how he deals with stuff,' Hochman said. 'But now he's adding a level of incompetence that would endanger any conviction that the DA's office gets.' After the line prosecutors approached their superiors about a motion to have Spertus removed from Grossman's case due to the potential conflict, they were removed without warning Friday, according to Garrett Dameron, their supervisor.
Teran faces an 11-count felony indictment for allegedly stealing confidential information on a group of Los Angeles deputies when she was employed in the sheriff's office and then inappropriately using that information while working in the DA's office years later. Gascon has maintained that his office is cooperating with the attorney general's office on that case. Spertus previously told Fox News Digital that he expected to beat the state's charges against Teran.
