L.A. DA Considers Menendez Brothers' Resentencing If They Admit Lies

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has stated he would reconsider the resentencing of Lyle and Erik Menendez if they admit to what he describes as decades of lies regarding their parents' 1989 murders. Hochman emphasized that the brothers must sincerely acknowledge their criminal actions and abandon their self-defense claims, which he believes are untruthful. He has identified 20 lies attributed to them since the murders, only four of which they have acknowledged. Hochman recently moved to withdraw a previous motion for resentencing initiated by his predecessor, George Gascón, stating the brothers do not meet the criteria for resentencing or rehabilitation. In response, supporters of the Menendez brothers plan to rally for their release, asserting that their claims of abuse should be taken seriously. The next court hearing regarding the brothers' sentencing is scheduled for April 11.
