Joseph P. Busch

Joseph P. Busch (Feb. 12, 1926 - June 27, 1975) was Los Angeles’ 36th district attorney beginning in 1970 after U.S. District Judge A. Andrew Hauk turned the job down.[1] 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.[2]
