Nathan Hochman will become L.A. County district attorney on Tuesday, after promising to undo many of the progressive policies of predecessor George Gascón.
Nathan Hochman will begin his term as Los Angeles County's district attorney Tuesday, taking office after promising to restore balance to a criminal justice system he says was too lenient on violent and repeat offenders for the last four years. Hochman has vowed to wipe away many of the policies enacted by his predecessor George Gascón, and perhaps befitting his stated intentions he will be sworn in by 'The Terminator' himself, former California Gov.
The new district attorney is also expected to retool the office's leadership structure by ousting some of Gascón's closest handpicked advisors. Last month, Hochman named Steve Katz, a 34-year veteran of the office who recently led the Public Integrity Division, to replace Joseph Iniguez as chief deputy district attorney.
