In Los Angeles County, prosecutors Brock Lunsford and Nancy Theberge have filed notices indicating their intention to sue District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Deputy DA John Lewin, alleging retaliation, defamation, and discrimination. Their recommendation for the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez—convicted in the 1989 murders of their parents—stirred dissent among their colleagues. The brothers' case attracted renewed interest due to a Netflix documentary and new claims of abuse against their father, prompting debates about justice and parole eligibility within the district attorney's office.
Lewin, who recently joined the trial team prosecuting rap superstar ASAP Rocky, let out a polite laugh when asked about the allegations outside the courtroom Monday morning.
The case gained renewed attention in recent years following the release of a Netflix documentary and the filing of a writ of habeas corpus that pointed to new allegations of sexual abuse against Jose Menendez.
