L.A. County D.A. to pay $5 million in civil rights case over bungled election conspiracy prosecution
By James Queally
Jan. 23, 2024
The L.A. County district attorney’s office will pay $5 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought by the head of a tiny Michigan software company that became the focus of a bungled 2022 prosecution based largely on the word of conspiracy theorists.
Eugene Yu, chief executive of Konnech, sued Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón last September alleging civil rights violations and negligence stemming from an October 2022 indictment on charges that Yu was illegally storing L.A. County poll workers’ personal information overseas.
The case against Yu drew praise from former President Trump and others who questioned the results of the 2020 election. For months prior to the charges, Yu faced allegations he was working for the Chinese government to manipulate U.S. ballot boxes. The lead agitators, Texas-based True the Vote, never put forth evidence of their claims.
Less than six weeks after Gascón called a press conference to announce charges against Yu, the case fell apart.
