One year ago, community members gathered to welcome our 44th Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman. On day one, DA Hochman committed implementing his Hard Middle Approach—a proportional system of accountability that considers the facts, the law, and prioritizing victims. Under his leadership, LADA has taken meaningful steps forward, including: ✅ Prosecuted major cases ✅ Disrupted organized crime rings ✅ Confronted retail theft and street racing ✅ Tackled copper and cargo theft ✅
