Menendez Brothers Resentencing: Attorney Reveals Shocking New Evidence

The Menendez Brothers Resentencing Hearing Begins: Attorney Offers Insights Los Angeles, CA – May 14, 2025 – Day 1 of the highly anticipated resentencing hearing for Lyle and Erik Menendez commenced today. The case, which dates back to 1989, involves the brothers' conviction for the murder of their parents. This hearing focuses on a potential change to their life sentences without parole. Attorney Nathan Hochman, representing the prosecution, spoke to reporters outside the courthouse. "What's important to know is that we always anticipated a resentencing hearing," Hochman stated. He detailed the brothers' extensive appeals process, which involved multiple court levels and denials. Hochman highlighted the lack of a resentencing statute in most states, emphasizing the unique nature of the California legal framework. Hochman also addressed the brothers' claims of self-defense, stating that "it is a lie today, just as it was a lie in the 1990s." He pointed to recent incidents involving the brothers, including the smuggling of contraband into prison, as evidence against their claims of rehabilitation. The hearing is expected to continue over the next several days, with the court considering evidence presented by both sides. The ultimate decision on resentencing rests with the judge, who has the authority to modify the sentences or uphold the original life-without-parole ruling.
