Menendez Brothers Resentencing: A Nation Watches

The Menendez Brothers Resentencing: DA Opposes Release Despite Softened Stance. The long-awaited resentencing hearing for Lyle and Erik Menendez took place today. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, stated he still opposes the brothers' release, even after softening his stance. This follows a recent parole board risk assessment that classified the brothers as a moderate risk. Hochman expressed concerns about public safety, stating, "If one of them moves next door to you, would you move out?" The judge is expected to consider the parole board's assessment, though the brothers' defense team notes their good behavior in prison. The hearing's outcome will have significant implications for the Menendez brothers and the families affected by their crime.
