Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón emphasized his office's commitment to prosecuting hate crimes, indicating a significant increase in cases filed since his assuming office.
Despite past criticism and a controversial directive regarding hate crime penalties, Gascón stated that prosecutions specifically targeting hate crimes have risen significantly during his tenure.
Critiques from his political opponent Nathan Hochman focused on Gascón's alleged failure to take adequate action against hate crimes, branding his efforts as insufficient in combating the issue.
Gascón acknowledged the increase in hate crime prosecutions and insisted that his office's conviction rates surpass both state averages and those achieved under his predecessor.
