Careers
In 1972, Rackauckas left the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services to become Deputy District Attorney at the Orange County District Prosecutor's Office, where he served until leaving 1988 to enter private practice. While in private practice, Rackauckas wrote Proposition 115, which appeared in the June 1990 ballot.
Rackauckas abandoned his private practice in 1990 when he was appointed by California Governor George Deukmejian to be a city court judge. Rackauckas served as a city court judge until March 1993, when Governor Pete Wilson appointed him as a High Court judge, a post he served until becoming an Orange County District Attorney.
Rackauckas won the support of 59% of Orange County voters in the June 1998 District Attorney election against Deputy District Attorney Wally Wade and took office in January 1999. He won the support of 62% of voters during a March 2002 reunion with Wade. He was unaffected in the June 2006 and 2010 offers for the third and fourth consecutive years, winning 100% of the vote annually.
In February 2014, Rackauckas filed the necessary documents to seek fifth term in office. He raised $ 419,000 during a fundraiser at Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach for his reelection campaign. He won re-election in 2014 with the support of 73.3% of voters. Rackauckas has indicated that he intends to run for re-election in 2018.
Rackauckas has been criticized by Public Defender Scott Sanders for his false accusations in handling prison informers who have created difficulties in punishing and punishing defendants for violating the constitutional rights of the accused. This resulted in a "death-relinquishing" table for Scott Dekraai, who pleaded guilty to murdering eight people and injuring others in the Seal Beach massacre. Dekraai was sentenced on 22 September 2017 by the Goethals for eight life in prison without the possibility of parole, a period for each victim and seven years of life for attempted murder.
Rackauckas is running for a sixth term in 2018.
