Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced that he will oppose the resentencing of Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in 1989. Hochman stated that the brothers have repeatedly lied about their motives, leading him to withdraw his predecessor’s recommendation for parole consideration. The Menendez brothers have long claimed they acted in self-defense due to alleged abuse by their father, but prosecutors argue their claims are inconsistent. A resentencing hearing is scheduled for later this month, but Hochman’s stance could significantly impact their chances of release. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom is using the case to push for changes in the state’s parole board process.
