Nathan Hochman, the current Los Angeles County prosecutor, has requested the court to withdraw the previous district attorney's motion for resentencing Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life for their parents' murders. Hochman expressed doubts about the brothers’ rehabilitation and the truthfulness of their trial testimony. Despite family assertions of their abusive past and calls for release, Hochman's office is prepared to proceed with upcoming hearings, raising significant debate about the men’s path towards freedom.
Our position is that they shouldn't get out of jail. They have failed to meet the requirements to show that they are no longer an unreasonable risk of danger to the community.
The Menendez family criticized Hochman for his "not-so-veiled insistence [the Menendez brothers] were not sexually abused," highlighting the broader implications of his statements on young victims.
