LA County Loses Court Battle with Grace Community Church — So County Sends Eviction Notice to the Church on Sunday


County officials were outraged at the judge’s decision this week telling the LA Times, “It is deeply disappointing that the Court decided not to grant the County’s request for a temporary restraining order prohibiting Grace Community Church from holding indoor services. We look forward to a favorable ruling when a full hearing is heard on the matter.” County officials did not sit back after losing last week’s ruling. On Sunday Los Angeles County sent a letter of eviction to Grace Community Church from a county owned parking lot. They informed the church they can no longer use the parking lot they have used for over four decades.
The church used this parking lot for over four decades - by lease or simply convenience?

If the church paid for use of the lot and that fee was used to cover property tax, the CA law of adverse possession may work in the church's favor



Also, this church may seek to prove prosecutorial vindictiveness by showing either actual vindictiveness or raising a presumption of vindictiveness.
Actual prosecutorial vindictiveness requires the defendant to produce objective evidence showing that the prosecutor intended his actions punish a defendant for asserting a right.
