One should expect a candidate for district attorney to know this
Nathan Hochman, who is challenging incumbent George Gascon in the Los Angeles District Attorney’s race, attends the Lincoln Heights Chamber of Commerce luncheon at San Antonio Winery in Los Angeles on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2024 during his campaign. Nathan Hochman is challenging George Gascón for Los Angeles County County district attorney this coming November in what appears to be a battle between the progressive decarceration trend that spread across the U.S.
During the interview, Hochman repeatedly accused Gascón of neglecting the interests of victims while prioritizing the rights of criminals. He may disagree with whether Gascón’s policies have that effect, but he must be familiar with the theory behind them. In what I found to be perhaps the most bewildering moment of the interview, Hochman seemed surprised to hear that there are problems with the plea bargain system. Not just surprised, he also claimed that people who make such claims about plea bargains have never worked in the system — his law professors at Stanford would beg to differ.
