The panel must look at how the county deals with juvenile crime, recidivism, joblessness, homelessness and bail reform.Cannick called the measure’s passage a “huge referendum” on criminal justice reform.Sheriff Alex Villanueva opposed Measure R, calling it unnecessary and an effort to “engage in political bashing of the Sheriff’s Department.” He said he is supplying documents to the commission and public online, but legally cannot release deputies’ confidential personnel records, victim and witness information on certain crimes and information on active criminal or administrative investigations.He said the panel will have to sue him to get those documents because he will not turn them over.Villanueva said the measure also was not needed because county departments, including his, are already working on methods to reduce the jail population.Cannick said Villanueva’s opposition, his controversial actions to rehire fired deputies and to allegedly protect deputy “gangs,” along with recent revelations that deputies took and shared photos of the helicopter crash scene that killed Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant, actually helped pass the measure.“I think without him we might not have had this landslide victory,” Cannick said.Cullors referred to Measure R as her “first ballot measure.”“To be able to win with such huge support is also telling about what is going to happen with Los Angeles,” she said.
