Los Angeles, CA) — Family members and supporters of the Menendez brothers are calling on Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman to reconsider his opinion on resentencing the pair. Another rally and news conference in support of the Erik and Lyle Menendez was held outside of the D.A.’s Office on Thursday. Hochman has publicly spoken out against resentencing the brothers, who are serving life sentences without parole for the 1989 murders of the parents in their Beverly Hills home. He says they have not fully admitted to what they did. Erik and Lyle say they were both abused by their father.
The D.A.’s Office has filed a motion to withdraw a resentencing petition. The motion will be heard at the Van Nuys Courthouse on April 11th. Hochman’s predecessor, George Gascon, was in favor of resentencing the Menendez brothers.
