On Tuesday afternoon, inside a Los Angeles courtroom, Judge Michael Jesic ruled in favor of Erik and Lyle Menendez and resentenced them after they had spent more than three decade

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman released a statement after a judge resentenced the Menendez brothers.

A judge has delayed until January his decision on whether to resentence Erik and Lyle Menendez for killing their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion 35 years ago.

The Menendez brothers have been resentenced to 50 years to life in prison, opening them up for the possibility of parole after spending more than three decades behind bars for killing their parents decades ago.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman is using Judge Michael Jesic‘s quick deliberation time in the Erik and Lyle Menéndez‘s resentencing case to question whether it was always the intention to let the brothers walk free.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman says a judge used his office’s reports to decide that the Menendez brothers should be resentenced, but the DA’s office maintains they are not ready for release — based on those same facts.

Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a opposition filing Friday that the Menendez family's April 25 motion for him to recuse his office from the imprisoned brothers' resentencing process is "devoid of merit" and "desperate.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman says that his office has filed opposition to the recusal motion that was filed by the Menendez brothers, which seeks to remove the DA from the case.
