Menendez Brothers Score Court Win as Judge Allows Resentencing Hearing

Menendez Brothers Score Court Win as Judge Allows Resentencing Hearing
SHARE

The Menendez brothers have recently scored a legal victory as a judge denied the Los Angeles District Attorney’s attempt to withdraw a resentencing petition. This decision paves the way for a hearing next week to determine if the brothers are rehabilitated enough to warrant a reduced sentence.

Lyle and Erik Menendez have spent 35 years in prison for the brutal murders of their parents in 1989. The hearing took place with the brothers attending remotely from their state prison in San Diego County. The current District Attorney, George GascĂ³n, had previously moved to reduce their sentence from life without parole to 50 years to life, making them eligible for parole.

However, Nathan Hochman, who succeeded GascĂ³n, sought to withdraw the petition, arguing that the brothers had not fully taken responsibility for their crimes and remained a threat to society. At the hearing, attorneys debated whether Hochman had the authority to rescind the petition and whether the brothers had truly been rehabilitated. The D.A.’s office argued that the brothers had not admitted to fabricating their self-defense claim or taking responsibility for their actions.

The judge ultimately ruled in favor of the brothers, stating that the D.A.’s office had not provided enough reason to withdraw the petition. This decision was based on a California appeals court precedent that requires a “legitimate reason” for withdrawing a resentencing petition. The Menendez brothers’ attorney criticized the D.A.’s office for focusing on the original crime rather than the brothers’ rehabilitation.

The case has garnered significant attention, with Governor Gavin Newsom considering clemency for the brothers. They are set to appear before the state parole board in June for a hearing on a potential commutation or pardon. The upcoming hearing will likely see a reiteration of the arguments made at the recent court session, with the judge emphasizing that the D.A.’s arguments will be thoroughly examined.

Overall, the legal battle surrounding the Menendez brothers continues to unfold, with the outcome likely to have far-reaching implications for their future.
