Menendez Brothers' Resentencing Uncertain After DA Election Shake-Up

Nathan Hochman, the newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney, will review the Menendez brothers' case, potentially delaying their chance at parole.

George Gascón, the outgoing DA, recommended resentencing the Menendez brothers to allow for parole, citing new evidence of abuse and their rehabilitation efforts.
Nathan Hochman, who defeated Gascón, plans to thoroughly review the case files before making any decisions regarding the resentencing motion set for December 11.
The brothers, serving life sentences for the 1989 murder of their parents, claim they acted in self-defense due to years of abuse, a narrative gaining renewed attention through recent media portrayals.
Hochman has indicated that while the Menendez case is a priority, he may request additional time to ensure a comprehensive review, amidst criticism of Gascón's timing of the recommendation.
Public opinion, influenced by recent documentaries and series, seems to favor the brothers' release, though the final decision will involve the courts and possibly the parole board.
