L.A. County Dist. Atty. George Gascón sailed into office in 2020 during a nationwide push for criminal justice reform. Now a large field is running to deny him a second term.
On his first day in office in 2020, Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. George Gascón doubled down on his reputation as 'the godfather of progressive prosecutors,' radically changing the way the nation's largest district attorney's office conducts business. Prosecutors could no longer seek the death penalty or try juveniles as adults. A number of misdemeanor charges, including trespassing and simple drug possession, would no longer be filed.
' Hochman has accused Gascón of ushering in 'the golden age of criminals,' and Milton claimed the district attorney is part of a broader national attempt to 'destroy our constitutional democratic republic.' Hochman has also promised to reinstitute the use of the death penalty and order prosecutors to once again attend parole hearings for inmates they previously convicted, a practice Gascón had stopped.
