Kennedy children denounce George Gascón's parole policy, endorse challenger

Rory and Max Kennedy, a daughter and son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, announced Tuesday their support for the candidate who is trying to unseat LA County District Attorney George Gascón over what they say are Gascón's policies that disregard the needs of crime victims and in particular, bar prosecutors from participating in parole hearings for convicted murderers.⁠ ⁠ The Kennedys said they've never before opposed a Democrat running for office but said they were moved to go public following Gascón's decision not to advocate against the release of their father's assassin during a 16th parole hearing in 2022.⁠ Visit nbcla.com for the full story.
