"This fall, a hit docudrama and docuseries brought renewed focus to their claims that their father had sexually abused them. In October, the Los Angeles district attorney George Gascon asked a judge to impose a sentence that would make them immediately eligible for parole, invoking a new California law that allows for such an extraordinary intervention."
"That is ominous news for the Menendez brothers: Hochman has the power to pull Gascon's recommendation and demand that they remain behind bars. It is equally ominous for any Los Angeles defendant convicted of a violent crime who has served decades in prison, has demonstrated extensive rehabilitation, and is seeking relief under this same law."
