New L.A. D.A. Nathan Hochman Says Menendez Brothers Lawyer’s “Narrative Is Absolutely Wrong”; Vows To Enforce Sanctuary Laws Against Trump Deportation Threats – The Deadline Q&A


Exclusive: In interview with Deadline, LA's new DA reveals the close look he's taking at the Menendez case, his "hard work middle" POV & Trump threats

EXCLUSIVE: Up on the top floor of downtown’s Hall of Justice, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office has little of the grandeur that the rest of the nearly 100-year-old ornate building itself would suggest, as the newly sworn-in Nathan Hochman himself points out. Just a few days into his term, after a landslide victory over one-termer George Gascón with support from Netflix’s Ted Sarandos and Oscar nominated documentarian Rory Kennedy, ex-Republican Hochman makes no secret of the fact he’s trying to settle in quickly, figuratively and literally. Convicted of first-degree murder in a second trial in 1996, and sentenced to life without parole, the now middle-aged brothers’ case was brought back into the courts by Gascón earlier year as new-ish evidence of sexual abuse by their father became known.
