Overview

• Los Angeles DA Nathan Hochman filed an opposition on May 2, rejecting the Menendez brothers' motion to recuse his office from their resentencing process.
• Hochman labeled the motion ‘desperate and devoid of merit,’ arguing it stems from dissatisfaction with his stance on resentencing.
• The DA reiterated that resentencing depends on the brothers admitting to past lies and fully accepting responsibility for their crimes.
• Defense attorney Mark Geragos claims Hochman’s office is too biased to ensure a fair hearing and highlights family support for resentencing.
• A Los Angeles Superior Court hearing on the recusal motion is scheduled for May 9, with Judge Michael Jesic presiding.
