SHAWN RANDOLPH vs. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
This legal case centers around a prosecutor who claims that she suffered retaliation after reporting violations of various legal and ethical obligations, including Marsy's Law, California Constitution, Article I, Section 28(b), California Penal Code sections 3041.5, 3034 and 667, and State Bar Rule 3.8. The prosecutor alleges that her employer, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, denied her a promotion, transferred her to a less desirable position, and prevented her from transferring to more desirable positions. The prosecutor is seeking damages for lost income, economic and non-economic damages, and attorneys' fees and costs of suit. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that the District Attorney's policies prevented the filing of appropriate charges against violent juvenile offenders, which violated Marsy's Law and ethical and statutory duties of prosecutors. The plaintiff is seeking damages for physical, mental, and emotional injuries, as well as economic damages resulting from the defendants' conduct. The plaintiff is also seeking reimbursement for health care expenses, attorneys' fees and costs of suit, and pre-judgment interest.
