Menendez brothers resentencing hearing date set in Los Angeles

The resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez will take place on Dec. 11, according to a court official.

A Los Angeles judge who will decide whether or not Erik and Lyle Menendez will be resentenced – and as a result, possibly released from prison on parole – has scheduled a Dec. 11 hearing for the brothers, who are serving life-without-parole terms for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents inside the family’s Beverly Hills home.

LA Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic held an in-camera hearing Wednesday and set the date, which could bring the Menendez brothers back to the Van Nuys Courthouse where they were convicted and sentenced decades ago.

L.A. County D.A. Hochman opposes a new trial for Menendez brothers

Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman said Friday that he'll revisit the issue of resentencing the brothers, who are serving life terms for killing their parents in 1989.

Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman announced Friday that he’s opposing a petition by attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez asking the court to take another look at their case amid new sexual assault allegations they say corroborate a history of abuse.

But Hochman stopped short of shutting down the possibility of resentencing the brothers, who are serving life terms for killing their parents, saying he’ll revisit the issue in “the coming weeks.”

The Menendez brothers should not be paroled. It is worth noting the killing of their mother has been mostly ignored in the current discussion.

LA district attorney does not support Menendez brothers' resentencing bid

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman is asking a court to withdraw his predecessor's petition to resentence Lyle and Erik Menendez.

I totally agree- He stated they do not meet the standard for re-sentencing and they have continued lying about acting in self defense,. I have always felt that the self defense defense was BS. I don't believe they were in imminent danger that night.

Menendez brothers offered path to freedom... on one condition

The Menendez brothers will be resentenced, according Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman. Erik and Lyle Menendez will have their sentences re-evaluated on March 20 and 21.

Gascón initially recommended a resentencing review for the brothers, but Hochman said he opposes any retrial for them after outlining 16 lies that they have not accepted responsibly for.

'As a full examination of the record reveals, the Menendez brothers have never come clean and admitted that they lied about their self-defense as well as suborned perjury and attempted to suborn perjury by their friends for the lies, among others, of their father violently raping Lyle’s girlfriend, their mother poisoning the family, and their attempt to get a handgun the day before the murders,' he said.

Red emphasis mine.
Among their lies... one would think the girlfriend would know if she'd been violently attacked or not ?
And since she hasn't said this happened, well ....
And what a terrible thing to accuse their own mother of.
Omo.
