LA Prosecutor Sues DA Gascón Over Alleged Retaliation in High-Profile Case

Shea Sanna claims he faced career repercussions for exposing misconduct in the handling of a transgender sex offender case.

Sanna alleges Gascón retaliated against him for revealing the defendant's misuse of gender identity for favorable treatment.
The lawsuit states Sanna was suspended, demoted, and subjected to sham investigations.
Sanna claims Gascón blocked him from presenting key evidence in the case against Hannah Tubbs.
The prosecutor has been outspoken about other cases mishandled under Gascón's administration.
Gascón faces multiple retaliation lawsuits and is up for re-election in November.
