Court Rebukes Carmen Trutanich for Misleading Public with Ballot Title

Court rebukes Carmen Trutanich for misleading public with Ballot Title.

Yesterday Alan Jackson won a major victory, emerging on top in a challenge in court over Carmen Trutanich’s ballot title of “Los Angeles Chief Prosecutor” and his alternate designation “Chief Criminal Prosecutor.”
 
With Superior Court Judge Joseph Kalin presiding, the court granted Jackson’s petition and agreed with our writ calling Trutanich’s ballot designation “misleading.” 

Judge Kalin ordered Trutanich to throw out both of his proposals. Each ballot title was deemed inappropriate and spurious, forcing Trutanich to settle on the ballot title “Los Angeles City Prosecutor.”

Alan Jackson is the candidate with integrity running for the office of District Attorney.  Find out more about Alan Jackson on his website.
