LA DA Challenges Menendez Brothers' Release, Calls Them Liars

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman is opposing the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989. Hochman accused the brothers of lying about their motivations for the killings and failing to take full responsibility for their actions, which he claims were premeditated rather than self-defense. He emphasized that they have continued to deceive authorities for over 30 years, and his office has submitted an extensive document detailing these lies in response to a previous recommendation for resentencing by former DA George Gascón. Hochman has indicated that resentencing could be reconsidered if the brothers acknowledge their past deceit. A hearing is scheduled for later this month to discuss the issue further. The DA's comments mark a significant setback for the Menendez brothers in their pursuit of freedom after decades of incarceration.
