Cooley’s Win for D.A.
* On Tuesday night an event occurred that hasn’t happened in Los Angeles for a long time. At the Sheraton Universal Hotel, in one room, hundreds of deputy district attorneys, defense lawyers and L.A. County judges gathered and celebrated.
While each sector may have had its own personal reasons for celebrating Steve Cooley’s win, the genuine camaraderie among these usually warring factions spoke well of Cooley’s ability to reach out to the whole criminal justice legal community, or of years of Gil Garcetti karma coming home to roost.
