Holmes' boss, Diana Becton, is in her first term as elected District Attorney, one of a number of district attorneys heavily supported by lefty billionaire George Soros.
Sources tell RedState that as soon as Becton took over she implemented major changes in the way the office was run and in the way crimes were charged and how aggressively cases were prosecuted.
One recent change, which I'll address further in a moment, has to do with charging people for "Looting," which is basically stealing during a state of emergency.
In California, a looting charge essentially increases the severity of a burglary or theft charge if it occurred during a State of Emergency.
Under Penal Code 463 PC, California law defines "Looting" as taking advantage of a state of emergency to commit burglary, grand theft or petty theft.
Even without any State of Emergency declared after the Black Lives Matter riots started in various California counties, the entire state has been under that declaration since March 4, 2020, when Gov. Newsom instituted a State of Emergency over coronavirus.
Deputy District Attorneys and/or the county's law enforcement officers are supposed to go through a flow chart, including a psychological and financial analysis, to determine if looting charges should be filed?
