Joseph P. Busch
Joseph P. Busch was Los Angeles’ 36th district attorney beginning in 1970 after U.S. District Judge A. Andrew Hauk turned the job down. While he did win the job outright in a 1972 election in a close election over famed prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, he served only three-and-a-half years, dying from a heart attack stemming from alcoholism.
