L.A. County D.A. opposes new trial for Menendez brothers while reviewing resentencing options

latimes.com

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced he opposes a new trial for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life sentences for killing their parents in 1989. He stated the evidence presented by their defense is not credible. Hochman plans to review the possibility of resentencing the brothers, which could make them eligible for parole. This follows a previous stance by former DA George Gascón, who supported clemency for the Menendez brothers. A hearing on the resentencing request is set for March 20. The case has gained renewed attention due to new allegations of abuse against their father and the brothers' involvement in rehabilitation programs while in prison.
