LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman today announced charges against 10 individuals in four crimes committed during the devastating wildfires. Nine people are facing felony charges in connection to residential burglaries in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, and a separate defendant has been charged with arson for intentionally starting a fire in the city of Azusa.
The ongoing wildfires in Southern California continue to devastate our communities, claiming lives and displacing families. I am deeply saddened to share the tragic news of two lives lost in the Eaton Fire, which has impacted the communities of Altadena and Pasadena. This is a stark reminder of the seriousness of the situation and the need for vigilance.
Earlier today, I had the opportunity to meet with approximately 25 members of the Menendez family to discuss their concerns regarding the ongoing review of the Menendez brothers' case. It was a productive and important conversation, and I deeply appreciate the family's willingness to share their perspectives.
