Description
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Friday 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.
"The people believe it should be denied," Hochman said of a 2023 "habeas" motion filed by attorneys for the brothers seeking a new trial in the case.
In a lengthy news conference Friday, 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. He questions whether the claims are actually new or being presented in a legally timely manner.
