“A Grotesque Spectacle”: Menendez Brothers’ Family Takes L.A. DA To Court Over Bloody Crime Scene Photos Shown At Resentencing Hearing, Allege Violation Of Victims Rights Law


They said they would, & today members of the Menendez brothers' family are taking LA DA Nathan Hochman & his office to court

To that, the more than 20 members of the Menendez family represented in today’s filing say the “scandalous behavior” showing those “horrific and gruesome photographs of the 1989 deaths of their relatives” by the brothers was entirely personal, intentional, part of an antagonistic relationship with Hochman. With the brothers in attendance for the April 17-18 sessions, if Judge Michael Jesic agrees the duo have shown true rehabilitation and meet the standard required, the life without parole sentencing from the mid-1990s could be rescinded. Amidst supposed new evidence and an overall exsemplatory time behind bars by the brothers, who are now in the same facility near San Diego, Netflix and Ryan Murphy’s hit Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story and several documentaries brought the matter back into the spotlight.
