Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said on Friday, Feb. 21, that his office will oppose a motion by defense attorneys seeking a new trial for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life in prison without parole for the 1989 shotgun slayings of their parents in Beverly Hills.
In an extensive news conference, Hochman challenged defense attorneys’ claims of new evidence in the case that supposedly supports allegations of sexual abuse by the brothers’ father, with the district attorney saying the alleged new evidence is inadmissible on various grounds.
But Hochman also went over the brothers’ actions after the slayings — recounting their various and repeatedly changing statements to investigators.
Hochman did not address a separate effort to have the brothers re-sentenced to a lesser term that might allow them to seek parole or be released on time served, saying his office was still reviewing that matter.
Menendez attorneys have also asked the governor to grant clemency to the brothers, but the governor has not taken any action on that request.
