The Los Angeles District Attorney‘s Office has withdrawn its backing for a re-sentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik.
Following the previous District Attorney’s decision to make life-sentenced brothers eligible for parole, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman has now changed the office’s stance, arguing that they continue to present an “excessive threat to public safety” due to their failure to “fully acknowledge guilt for their criminal activities.” He highlighted the “calculated and thoughtful” actions they took after the murders, which seemed aimed at concealing the crime.
The brothers, according to Hochman, were “essentially involved in more than just the greatest deception for self-defense; they also spun a web of deceit surrounding this act.
As a gamer speaking in the first person,
The Menendez brothers, who were convicted for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty, are currently serving life sentences without parole. They’re exploring various legal paths to gain their freedom, one of which involves Governor Gavin Newsom. Recently, Governor Newsom hinted that he might grant clemency to the convicted killers if all other avenues prove futile. He’s urged the California Parole Board to conduct a thorough risk assessment on these men as they strive for their freedom.
As a devoted fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the rumored release, which has gained significant traction following the airing of Ryan Murphy’s acclaimed Netflix series and the revelations from a 2023 documentary. This compelling new evidence seems to validate the brothers’ claims of self-defense in the ’90s trials, amidst a lifetime of alleged sexual, physical, and emotional abuse at the hands of their parents.
On Monday, Hochman halted the forward progress by stating that the pursuit of justice warranted his decision to withdraw his backing for freeing the brothers. He emphasized that this stance was consistent with their initial defense during the trial where they maintained their innocence in the murder of their parents.
He stated, “Initially, their argument was they weren’t involved.” They “persistently continued this deception” and “maintained this falsehood for months on end. If Erik hadn’t confessed to his therapist several months down the line and if that confession hadn’t been recorded and handed over to the authorities, they would have stuck to their claim of innocence.
More to come.
