According to data provided by Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, in December 2021, the office had 10,334 more felony cases 'pending' than in December 2019.
A CBS News investigation has uncovered a massive backlog of court cases that has delayed progress on hundreds of thousands of criminal cases across the United States.
"We want justice for our son," said Colette Grabow, whose 24-year-old son was killed in a hit-and-run crash in San Jose, California. Jim and Colette Grabow have been waiting nearly five years for the trial of the man accused of killing their son, Barrett, in a hit-and-run in San Jose, California."This is absolutely a crisis," said Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen, who is prosecuting the Grabow case."There's not accountability in our court system because cases are not moving, and we need to break through this kind of thinking and have an all-hands-on deck approach.
CBS News contacted the California Judicial Council, the policymaking body of the California courts, for comment on the ongoing backlog.
