Gascon

Nathan Hochman has vowed to prosecute fentanyl dealers more aggressively than his predecessor, George Gascón.

Matt said the Sheriff’s Department presented Jax’s case to the U.S. attorney’s office after learning that Gascón’s office probably would pursue only a charge of involuntary manslaughter, which carries a two- to four-year sentence.

George Gascón last year recommended that a court reconsider the brothers’ prior sentences of life without the possibility of parole, instead giving them 50 years to life.

But Hochman filed a motion Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court to rescind Gascón’s request, presenting an analysis of the facts of the case that is far less favorable to the brothers and raises questions about the validity of their self-defense claims.
