Judge rules in Menendez Brothers’ resentencing hearing after intense court battle
An L.A. judge denied the prosecutor’s attempt to cancel a resentencing petition, clearing the way for a potential release of Erik and Lyle Menendez.
L.A. District Attorney Nathan Hochman accused the infamous brothers of telling numerous lies and questioned their self-defense claims.
Hochman’s position was a complete 180 from his predecessor, George Gascón, who advocated for their resentencing.
Erik and Lyle Menendez will return to court on April 17 in hopes of receiving a reduced sentence, which could potentially lead to their release.
A Los Angeles County judge ruled in their favor during a contentious hearing on Friday.
The decision marks a major legal victory for the brothers, who have spent over three decades behind bars for the 1989 murder of their parents.
Prosecutors slammed for showing crime scene images
