BREAKING: The attempt to recall Los Angeles D.A. George Gascon has failed.
The recall needed around 566K valid signatures to qualify. It got 520K verified, despite submitting 715K. Of the 195K disqualified signatures, the Registrar says 131K of them were from voters who were not registered or who submitted duplicate signatures.
One of the big fears among some supporters was that the mail-in petition blitz - which sent more than 3 million petitions out to L.A. County voters late in the recall drive - would produce a lot of duplicates. That fear is somewhat borne out by what the Registrar released today.
I'll have a full story up on the results soon, but if you're catching up, here's my last long look at the recall's final push: latimes.com/california/sto…
Just 9K signatures were tossed due to a mismatch between signature on file and the one on the petition -- which was not the difference between success and fail here, effectively neutering the Recall's legal challenge last week that proper procedures weren't being followed.
Here's our first story, it will be updated ... a lot: Second effort to force Los Angeles D.A. George Gascón into recall election fails latimes.com/california/sto…
32K because the address on the petition didn't match the registered voter address on file. Additional ones were tossed for having a mismatched signature.

Thread -- One month into L.A.'s new bail schedule, @LASuperiorCourt Presiding Judge Samantha Jessner released data today that seems to put a dent in the "catch and release" criticisms of the policy that have been made in recent weeks.
While I'm hesitant to say 3 weeks of data is representative of much, what's here pushes back on the "they're releasing everyone" narrative that always spills into the news cycle on bail reform.
5,113 people were booked in L.A. County from Oct. 1st-21st. 67% of them either paid money bail or faced a judicial review before release. Meaning only about a third of defendants were arrested and released without a second level of scrutiny or a monetary imposition.

Afternoon break update: Sean Kelly returned to the stand, on cross acknowledged he saw an object in “the small gentleman’s” hands while he saw muzzle flashes, referring to Lanez. On redirect, Mgdesyan gets Kelly to acknowledge he initially said there were 2 shooter, 1 female.
Much like the morning, this went in circles for 30 minutes with Kelly repeatedly noting he never actually saw a gun. Then we moved onto the testimony of LAPD Det. Ryan Stogner, the lead investigator on the case.
Stogner has been called as a defense witness becuase prosecutor declined to call him due to recent legal troubles. He was placed on leave pending a domestic violence allegation (which did not result in charges) but Judge Herriford has ruled none of that is relevant.

Tory Lanez Day 7: We spent the entire morning with defense witness Sean Kelly, who witnessed some of the incident from a balcony overlooking Nichols Canyon Blvd. While defense had claimed Kelly could ID Kelsey Harris as shooter that’s not exactly what happened.
Kelly says he was woken up by arguing and looked out his window to see “two girls” fighting, presumably Megan Thee Stallion and Kelsey Harris. “They we’re pulling the hair and hitting each other it was quite violent,” he said.
Kelly says he heard what he at first believed to be fireworks and then saw a muzzle flash. Confusingly, Kelly says he both saw the muzzle flash coming from “one of the girls” but also saw it “about the same time the smaller gentleman (Lanez) got out of the car.”

Light morning of testimony at Tory Lanez trial. Prosecutor recalled an LAPD officer and a DA’s office investigator in order to introduce some body worn camera footage and lyrics to a diss track Kelsey Harris wrote about Megan called “Bussin’ Back.”
The camera footage shows Kelsey ask Megan if she’s “OK,” as they are both being detained after vehicle stop. On cross, Lanez defense attorney kept asking officer if Tory also asked Megan that question or looked distraught or noticed the defendant’s demeanor, she kept saying no.
The prosecution also got permission to enter into evidence the rest of the lyrics to Kelsey's diss track. Earlier in trial, defense attorney asked a question about lyric "Who I'm taking shots at? Bitch, I'm busting you," obviously trying to paint Kelsey as shooter.

Quick Thread -- Megan Thee Stallion was only on the stand for about 45 minutes this morning, but she walked through the entire shooting in that time. She entered court around 11:15 a.m. to shouts of support in the hallway. Tory Lanez did not look at her when she entered.
Megan was emotional as soon as she took the stand, describing Lanez as someone she "used to" be friends with before telling a prosecutor she didn't "feel good ... I can't believe I have to come up here and do this."
MTS says the argument in the SUV started because she wanted to leave the party at Kylie Jenner's house and Lanez didn't. He "had an attitude" and when they got in the car he told MTS "you need to stop lying to your friend" referring to Kelsey Harris.
