George Gascón, former district attorney of San Francisco and Los Angeles, has expressed confusion over the contrasting legal outcomes for two of his former employees, Diana Teran and Brooke Jenkins. Teran faces serious charges for accessing public documents via a computer, while Jenkins has escaped charges despite similar actions. Gascón argues that the technology involved in Teran’s case unfairly complicates the legal ramifications, highlighting discrepancies in how the law is applied. Overall, this situation raises questions about fairness and consistency in prosecutorial accountability.
If you were to put these two cases side by side, taking a pure look at the law and behavior, if there's any criminal liability here in these two cases, clearly it's not the Diana Teran case.
Teran, a former adviser in Gascón's office, is accused of accessing a Los Angeles Sheriff's Department database to obtain disciplinary materials for deputies—public records that if requested properly wouldn't be an issue.
