Los Angeles County DA says he has not made a decision about resentencing Menendez brothers
Los Angeles County’s top prosecutor said Friday that he had not made a decision about whether the prison sentences for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life without parole for the heavily publicized 1989 murders of their parents, should be reduced.
Los Angeles County’s top prosecutor said Friday that he had not made a decision about whether the prison sentences for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life without parole for the heavily publicized 1989 murders of their parents, should be reduced.
Nathan Hochman, who was elected district attorney in November, said he was still reviewing extensive court and prison records ahead of resentencing hearing scheduled for Jan. 30 and Jan. 31.
Lawyers for the brothers sought to have their sentences reduced to 50 years to life, a request that would make them eligible for parole immediately.
Hochman made the announcement after what the prosecutor described as an hours-long meeting with relatives of the siblings who support their release.
Hochman declined to say what the relatives told him, but he described the meeting as “productive.”
