Menendez Case: D.A. Withdraws Request to Reduce Brothers’ Sentence


District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Monday he will withdraw the office's request to reduce the sentences of Lyle and Erik Menendez.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Monday that his office will withdraw its request to reduce the sentences of Lyle and Erik Menendez, saying the brothers have not shown full insight into their crimes. In a trailer for his personal podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom,” the governor announced last month that he had asked the state parole board to conduct a risk assessment, which would inform his decision about whether to grant clemency. Last September, the Ryan Murphy series “ Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story ” became a big hit on Netflix, prompting Gascón to take a fresh look at the case.
