NEW: Outdoor dining has reopened in L.A. County as of today, but now the Health Department is banning restaurants from having their TVs turned on for customers. @FOXLA
Directly from the new health order: “Televisions or any other screens that are used to broadcast programming must be removed from the area or turned off. This provision is effective until further notice.”
It’s obvious the Health Department wants to stop people from watching the Super Bowl outdoors at sports bars/restaurants, so they are now going to force people to watch it indoors with private home gatherings by taking the outdoor option away. Absolutely brilliant 🙄

TONIGHT 1/3: Under D.A. George Gascon's reforms, special charges are not being filed against either suspect in the high profile cases of two decapitated children, and two LASD deputies who were shot in ambush, meaning both would be eligible for elderly parole after 20 yrs @FOXLA
LASD Deputy Claudia Apolinar, who was shot in the face, tells me she is outraged about Gascon's new directives. Gascon's office will seek to dismiss gun enhancements w/ great bodily injury against Deonte Murray, accused of shooting them.
Apolinar texted me this statement. @FOXLA
Veteran @LASDHQ homicide detective is handling both cases. He is also outraged. He says Gascon's reforms stopped special circumstances of multiple murders from being filed in case of father who allegedly decapitated his kids with an axe.
"Worst crime scene I've ever seen." @FOXLA

BREAKING: In rebuke to D.A. George Gascon's reforms, judge has DENIED motion to drop all gun enhancements & special circumstances against Rhett Nelson, man charged with murdering LASD deputy Joseph Solano & skateboarder Dmitry Koltsov. Nelson had an outburst after ruling. @FOXLA ImageImageImage
Deputy Solano's sister, son, and gf tell me they are relieved by the ruling and feel this is the first step towards getting justice. If the judge had agreed to drop the special charges, Nelson could have gotten a parole hearing at age 50. Now he faces life w/out parole @FOXLA
A deputy DA from San Diego was also at the hearing this morning, and accused Gascon of being dishonest when claiming that defendants are facing 50+ years in prison even without special charges. He says with California's elderly parole law, that's not true. @FOXLA

BREAKING: We've obtained video of LA D.A. George Gascon at the Pomona courthouse today where he can be heard saying "It's unfortunate that some people do not have enough education to keep their mouth shut so we can talk" as the family of a murdered victim yells at him. @FOXLA
Sources tell me the woman yelling is the mother of Joshua Rodriguez, who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered in 2015. Special circumstances were recently filed on the accused killers, which will be dropped under Gascon's new policy, which takes life w/out parole off. @FOXLA
I have reached out to George Gascon's team for a comment on this video. I've initially been told he wasn't aware they were family members of victims yelling at him when he made this comment, and thought they were just hecklers. Waiting on a formal statement. Will update. @FOXLA

L.A. District Attorney George Gascon has called a 1pm press conference where we are told he will make “announcements” with victims of crime, and victims advocates. @FOXLA will be covering.
Gascon acknowledges the pushback against his policies over past several days. Says L.A. county has been a prime example of the failures of mass incarceration, and that he never saw any outrage about this.
“I refuse to be a passenger in a ride on a broken system,” he says @FOXLA
Gascon references the Lancaster case where the father is accused of decapitating his children. Says removal of enhancements won’t stop him from being punished. Says he would still face at least 50 years in prison if convicted even without the enhancements.
