Menendez Brothers’ Fate Becomes Issue in D.A. Race: ‘The Timing Is Incredibly Suspicious’


Nathan Hochman, the challenger in the Nov. 5 D.A. debate, accused George Gascon of using the Menendez case to distract from his failures in office.

The challenger in the race for Los Angeles County District Attorney has accused incumbent George Gascón of using the Menendez brothers case to distract from his failures in office. At a debate on Tuesday night, Nathan Hochman faulted Gascón for holding a press conference last week to announce that he was considering whether the brothers should be freed from prison. The Ryan Murphy series “ Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story ” debuted on Netflix last month, renewing interest in the brothers who are serving life sentences for killing their parents in 1989.
