The Orange County District Attorney Debate sponsored by the bar association was held in Fullerton this week. Here is the full debate between the current DA Todd Spitzer and challengers Pete Hardin, Bryan Chehock and Mike Jacobs. Both Hardin and Chehok were the winners and showed a deep understanding of the problems facing our criminal justice system.

Spitzer verbally went after BLM activist Tatiana Turner who was sitting in the first row multiple times. Turner is being over-prosecuted by his office for protest actions. The moderator- who has donated 16k to Spitzers campaign and was a groomsman at his wedding, eventually had security throw her out for coughing. Meanwhile, Spitzer fans called her a bum and disgrace with no recourse. We interviewed Turner from prison on a previous episode if you are interested in more details on her prosecution.
