Interview: Jackie Lacey, Los Angeles County District Attorney - Part 1

Back in March, before the Primary election that sent Ms. Lacey and Mr. Gascón to a run off in the General Election, Molly Miller and I interviewed Mr. Gascón (Part One here and Part Two here) and the other Primary contestant, Rachel Rossi (here). (You can find links to all of our coverage of the L.A. District Attorney race here.)

We also extended an invitation to Ms. Lacey, and, after a series of conversations with her campaign, I had the opportunity to interview her via zoom last Tuesday, October 20

In Part One of the interview we discuss her upbringing, the people and events that shaped her values and ambitions, her path to becoming a prosecutor, her experiences in and her perspective on the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office, and her view on the movement to reform our criminal legal process.
