Menendez Brothers' Parole Hopes in Limbo as New DA Takes Charge

Incoming Los Angeles DA Nathan Hochman's review may delay the Menendez brothers' potential resentencing and parole eligibility.

Nathan Hochman, the newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney, will review the Menendez brothers' case, potentially delaying their resentencing and parole consideration.
Outgoing DA George Gascón had supported reducing the brothers' sentences to 50 years to life, citing their model behavior in prison and claims of past abuse.
A hearing is scheduled for December 11, where a judge will decide on the resentencing recommendation, but Hochman may request more time to review the case details.
The brothers' legal team has also filed a clemency request with California Governor Gavin Newsom, seeking another avenue for potential release.
The Menendez brothers, convicted in 1996 for the 1989 murders of their parents, have drawn renewed attention through recent documentaries and public debates over their claims of abuse.
