"District attorneys should not be evaluated on the basis of how many cases they have filed or how many convictions they have.

@GalvinAlmanza I will tell you that under Lacey and others in L.A., that was the ONLY criteria. I had a mentor who told me that I needed 50 trials to promote in one year. Only had 18. There was no way I could get there ethically. But some people did it. And they got promoted.2 replies 1 retweet 9 likes
Replying to @SpookyBrownEsq @JoshuaBHoe and
It was all about FELONY jury trial stats. One female DA I worked with had none. She was up for promotion in a couple of months. She find out I had 18. She hiked up offers to force trials. Got to 20 in three months (which is insane). Got promoted. STOPPED doing trials after that.
