Sharon Raydor

Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office

• Deputy DA Martin Garnett (James Patrick Stuart): A Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County, charged with making decisions about whether Brenda's cases will go to court. He and Brenda have an often-difficult working relationship.
• Deputy DA Andrea Hobbs (Kathe Mazur): A Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County, charged with making decisions about whether Brenda's cases will go to court. Like Garnett, she can bump heads with Brenda at times, but tends to have a better working relationship with her. Hobbs acts as the primary DDA in Major Crimes where she has a good working relationship with Sharon Raydor. After deciding to go to law school, Rusty Beck becomes her intern and later assistant in second half of season 5 and in season 6.
• Deputy DA Emma Rios (Nadine Velazquez): A Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles County appearing in Major Crimes who is in charge of prosecuting the Phillip Stroh case despite her inexperience. Rios acts as the primary DDA throughout season 2, though her attitude, particularly towards Rusty Beck, often puts her at odds with the detectives. In season 3, she is once again replaced by Andrea Hobbs, not reappearing until the final two episodes of the season when Stroh predicts a series of rapes and murders before escaping. Rios is not seen again until season 6 where she attends Sharon Raydor's funeral and is under protection because of the possibility of Stroh's return to the United States. Despite her protection, Rios is killed by Stroh who drowns Rios at the bottom of her own pool, making it look like an accident. However, the police don't buy it as Rios was an avid swimmer and Stroh has been connected to a series of deaths also staged as accidents. Rios' murder is later discovered to have been to draw the detectives' attention to a forged medical file that Rios had found claiming that Stroh was dying.
