End the Zero Bail Law and Hold Criminals Accountable for Their Actions


End the Zero Bail Law and Hold Criminals Accountable for Their Actions
The Issue
The tragic death of 4-year-old Gor Adamyan in Lancaster, CA, has highlighted the need to end the zero bail law. This law allows criminals like Byron Burkhart and Alexandria Gentile to be released without any financial consequences after committing heinous crimes. In this case, a road rage incident led to nine shots being fired at a car carrying an innocent child. The current system is failing our community and our children by not holding these individuals accountable for their actions.
According to data from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), since implementing zero bail policies during COVID-19, some counties have seen a rise in re-arrest rates. This suggests that these policies may be enabling repeat offenders rather than deterring crime.
The loss of Gor Adamyan is not just a personal tragedy; it's a failure of our justice system that needs immediate rectification. We call on lawmakers in Lancaster, CA, and across the state to end the zero bail law and ensure that all responsible parties are prosecuted for crimes committed against humanity and children.
We cannot bring back young Gor Adamyan but we can fight for justice in his name and prevent further tragedies like this from happening again. Please sign this petition today.
