Hochman Wins L.A. DA Race, Plans to Revisit Menendez Brothers Case

Nathan Hochman, the incoming Los Angeles County District Attorney, plans to reverse many of the progressive policies implemented by his predecessor, George Gascón. Hochman's agenda includes reinstating the death penalty, prosecuting low-level misdemeanors, and using sentencing enhancements for gun and gang-related crimes. He also intends to review high-profile cases, such as the resentencing of the Menendez brothers. Hochman's election victory reflects a public desire for tougher crime policies, though some legal figures urge him to retain necessary reforms.
