Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman intends to terminate Lawrence Middleton's contract, an action that could impact several pending investigations into police shootings.
Middleton was hired to reconsider charges in shootings that former D.A. Jackie Lacey's office chose not to prosecute, as part of efforts for police accountability.
Despite billing over $1 million for his services between June 2021 and October 2024, Middleton did not secure any convictions during his tenure.
The Justice Systems Integrity Division will take over any cases Middleton was reviewing, shifting responsibility for high-profile cases away from him.
