Is apparently ‘sweeping’ out a bunch of stuff in LA!
Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman told reporters Monday that he is seeking to withdraw his predecessor’s motion to have a resentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers – two convicted killers, Erik and Lyle – who hope to be freed from life imprisonment without parole.
He said the brothers have failed to come clean about a motive or display meaningful self-reflection that would warrant a resentencing.
“The self-defense defense was a fabrication,” Hochman said. “They need to admit to that.”

Some folks I know out on the left coast were saying Gascon was doing a resentencing on the Menendez for votes. Whether or not that was true, Hochman isn’t buying it and is NOT going through with the case.
I’m old enough to remember the original trial in 1993, and how much of a horror story it was. The original coverage from Court TV is HERE, if you want to go look (I don’t recommend it).
BLUF- They were, IMHO, two spoiled kids who got cut off and decided to off the parents for the estimated $14M the parents had. Were there issues? It’s LA, what do you expect? Even back then the Hollyweird types were…different even from the typical LA crowd.
Frankly, I don’t think they deserve freedom, not after what they did.
Your thoughts???
They deserve to spend every day of the original sentence in prison. I’ve been a cop all my adult life and murders rarely make rational sense. But killing one’s parents makes no sense at all.
Let them rot.
Agree
I believe that they used 9mm pistols with 18 round magazines, and at one point the prosecution asked one of them: “You emptied the entire magazine. Was there not one moment that you could have thought, ‘Gee, I’m a lot less pissed off than I was eight rounds ago…?”
They claimed their dad did all sorts of evil things to them.
OK,so why did you kill your mom?
Stay locked up.
All- Thanks! I see y’all agree with me!
I worked for the Orange County District Attorney’s Office when they murdered their parents. We had a piece of that case even though LADA prosecuted it. The boys were guilty of murder in the first degree.
Let them rot.
TBH, I am kind of disappointed that they are still able to draw enough breath to voice a request for a re-sentencing.
I read somewhere that we all have two minutes to live, but the clock resets every time you inhale – the clock on these guys should have hit zero long ago.
