Los Angeles County DA Nathan Hochman responded to the reduced sentences of Erik and Lyle Menendez, allowing potential parole after 30 years. Both brothers expressed remorse for their actions in statements, emphasizing personal accountability. Hochman rejected their claims of self-defense as lies, asserting they must fully acknowledge their past actions to justify parole. The brothers' rehabilitation efforts, education, and support for fellow inmates were highlighted, with testimonials from others who benefited from their guidance bolstering claims of their personal growth during incarceration.
My actions were criminal, selfish, and cowardly. I fired all five rounds at my parents and went to reload.
I killed my mom and dad ... I give no excuses ... I do not blame my parents ... I was a 21-year-old who thought I could fix what I could not fix.
