New LA district attorney to reverse many of George Gascon's progressive policies

Nathan Hochman, the man who defeated former Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón, will begin his term Tuesday with a lengthy to-do list after promising to restore balance to the criminal justice system.

Hochman is a former Republican who ran as an independent and centrist. He vowed to wipe away many of Gascón’s policies that he claims created a system that was way too lenient on violent and repeat offenders.
