Following up on this post<\/a>, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has this news release<\/a> on the swearing in of Nathan Hochman.<\/p>\n

DA Hochman announced a series of immediate policy changes that he said would promote public safety by holding the most dangerous offenders accountable. He said he would inform prosecutors that he is eliminating former DA Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s special directives that prohibited or strictly limited the filing of certain charges and sentencing enhancements.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors in the District Attorney\u2019s Office will once again have the discretion to file charges based on the unique circumstances of each case, the crime committed, the defendant\u2019s background, the impact on the victim and the law, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDistrict attorneys must have only two things as their North Stars: the facts and the law,\u201d DA Hochman said. \u201cI reject blanket extreme policies on both sides of the pendulum swing \u2013 decarceration policies that predetermine that certain crimes and certain criminals are not going to be prosecuted and mass incarceration policies that also are not anchored in the facts and the law.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The changes that DA Hochman is implementing on Day 1 of his administration include:<\/p>\n

Restoring the ability of prosecutors to pursue sentencing enhancements for defendants who used firearms in the commission of their crimes, or whose crimes were committed for the benefit of criminal street gangs.<\/p>\n

Eliminating Gasc\u00f3n\u2019s prohibition on prosecutors attending parole hearings to advocate on behalf of rape victims and relatives of homicide victims when their assailants are seeking an early release from prison.<\/p>\n

Rescinding a prohibition against charging juveniles with misdemeanors for stealing merchandise valued at less than $950.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
