Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley said the overall conviction rate by his Hardcore Gang Division has risen from 87 percent in 2001 to 94 percent in 2003. The conviction rate for murders went from 90 percent in 2001 to 94 percent in 2003, and the conviction rate for attempted murders jumped from 74 percent in 2001 to 93 percent in 2003.
..
So why is Ramos bragging about 60% conviction rate in his gang unit in his mailers? With such a poor conviction rate track record on gang related crime, as a gang leader you'd have to ask why not move your operations to San Bernardino County--you stand a 40% chance of getting off if you ever get busted in San Bernardino and a 5% chance in LA County. Keeping Ramos will increase the incentives for gang related criminal activity to come here (which if you haven't noticed, has been happening). Ramos really is a failure project. Defeat Ramos so we can improve conviction rates. We are entitled to better!!
