Erik and Lyle Menendez have filed a new motion calling for the district attorney involved in their case to recuse himself in an effort to secure a resentencing hearing for the pair.
The motion argues that “the record shows a conflict,” which makes it unlikely that the Menendez brothers will be able to receive a fair resentencing hearing as long as District Attorney Nathan Hochman is involved in their case.
In October, then-District Attorney George Gascón moved to have the pair’s sentence reduced from life without parole to 50 years to life, making them immediately eligible for parole. Unfortunately for the Menendez brothers, Gascón lost the November election, and his successor, Hochman, withdrew his predecessor’s resentencing recommendation upon entering office.
