Next to this image was one of Mike Gipson in a police uniform, and under both pictures ran the line, &#8220;Only One Will Protect What&#8217;s Important to You.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suit alleges that Gipson&#8217;s mailer was a &#8220;malicious&#8221; violation of election laws, because it failed to disclose that the image was modified and because it was a false depiction of Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walker is an ex-convict, having served six years for robbery, but the steps he took to turn his life around formed the substance of a redemption story that eventually&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/blog\/2015\/01\/18\/meet-prophet-walker-guest-first-lady-state-union\">g<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/blog\/2015\/01\/18\/meet-prophet-walker-guest-first-lady-state-union\">ot him the attention of President Barack Obama<\/a>. Walker&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scpr.org\/blogs\/politics\/2015\/01\/20\/17824\/four-los-angeles-residents-to-sit-with-michelle-ob\/\">was a guest of First Lady Michelle Obama<\/a>&nbsp;during the president&#8217;s State of the Union speech in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While he was in prison, Walker started a program to help fellow inmates earn a two-year college degree. He graduated from Loyola&nbsp;Marymount University\u2019s engineering school and also helped co-found a&nbsp;program called Watts United Weekend, which takes kids from local housing projects on weekend retreats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the campaign season leading up to the November election, Walker was the underdog in a race for the 64th Assembly District, which represents Carson, Compton, Watts, parts of South Los Angeles, and other cities in south L.A. County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gipson, a former mayor of Carson and a former Maywood police officer, was the better-known and financed candidate, and he ultimately prevailed, securing 64 percent of the vote compared to Walker&#8217;s 36 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cynical observers might argue the suit is a lot of fuss over what amounts to standard practice in politics. After all, mud-slinging has been around as long as people have been running for office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Gipson&#8217;s mailer drew broad criticism for its blatant visual deceit and because the imagery was eerily reminiscent of Trayvon Martin, the young unarmed black teenager who was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan Morain of the Sacramento Bee called it &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/opinion\/opn-columns-blogs\/dan-morain\/article3936766.html\">one of the most vile mailers I&#8217;ve ever seen<\/a>.&#8221; Celeste Fremon, who runs the blog Witness L.A., said it was&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/witnessla.com\/contemplating-crime-consequence\/2014\/admin\/last-minute-really-low-down-dirty-la-politics-in-the-64th-assembly-district\/\">&#8220;loathsome,&#8221; enough mud-slinging<\/a>&nbsp;to make &#8220;even cynical campaign watchers blanch.&#8221; Los Angeles News Group&#8217;s editorial board called it the &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.presstelegram.com\/opinion\/20141103\/dirty-campaigning-hits-new-low-in-mike-gipson-vs-prophet-walker-race-assembly-district-64-opinion\">most egregious dirty campaign flier in a local race that members of this editorial board can recall in decades of experience<\/a>.&#8221; Scott Lay, who puts out daily political newsletter &#8220;The Nooner,&#8221; called the move&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.aroundthecapitol.com\/nooner\/2014-11-03.html\">&#8220;abhorrent&#8221; and &#8220;reprehensible.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how much Walker stands to gain from a settlement. Dan Morain said at the time it was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scpr.org\/news\/2015\/03\/26\/50610\/south-la-assemblyman-mike-gipson-sued-over-dirty-c\/\">hardly worth pursuing a lawsuit<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The election code prohibits candidates from maliciously manipulating photographs of their opponents. Victims can sue, but damages are limited to the amount of the cost of the mailer and attorneys&#8217; fees, hardly worth it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawsuit does seek punitive damages, but at its root this case is at least as much about political justice, <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.creativespikedigital.com\/lftc\/attorneys\/bryan-j-freedman\/\">attorney Bryan Freedman, who is representing Walker<\/a>, told KPCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freedman said it was a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.calnewsroom.com\/2015\/02\/09\/hoodie-mailer-mike-gipson-lied-to-his-lead-consultant-hired-convicted-criminal-for-prophet-walker-hit\/\">recent story about Gipson&#8217;s consultant quitting<\/a>&nbsp;that may have finally prompted Walker to bring the suit forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that story, Josh Pulliam, Gipson&#8217;s former lead political consultant, said he was severing his professional ties with Gipson after the candidate lied to him about who sent the mailer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Mike went rogue for the last week of the campaign and made a series of regrettable decisions,&#8221; Pulliam told CalNewsroom.com. &#8220;Apparently among them was hiring Angel Gonzalez \u2014 a local consultant who was convicted of sending out illegal campaign mail with faked images.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suit alleges that Gipson and Gonzalez together came up with the mailer but that Gipson later lied about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of a public apology he made earlier, Gipson appeared to lay blame at least partially on a campaign volunteer, making no mention of Gonzalez, according to Witness L.A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was this apparent cover-up that Freedman said made the situation worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>People violate election laws all the time, but when someone says to his constituency, &#8216;This is what happened,&#8217; and it turns out to be a lie, there&#8217;s a fundamental belief that you get excited to right a wrong. This is not a guy who made a mistake. This is someone who did something maliciously and didn&#8217;t tell anyone what he was doing, and went rogue.<\/p>\n<cite>Freedman said.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Freedman said his client wants the public to understand that Gipson lied to the public he has been elected to represent, and that any settlement that may be reached as a result of the lawsuit has to involve an admission to that effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KPCC reached out to Gipson&#8217;s office for this story, but his press secretary, Jonathan Feldman, said they would not comment until they had reviewed the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Assemblyman Mike Gipson is being sued over a campaign mailer from the November election that depicted his opponent as a hoodie-wearing, gun-wielding criminal.
