Less than 18 months after he was sworn in to lead the San Francisco Police Department, George Gascon accepted a role as top prosecutor by Mayor Gavin Newsom, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
Gascon replaces outgoing District Attorney Kamela Harris, who won election in November as state Attorney General.
