A family-led coalition trying to secure resentencing for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life in prison for the 1989 shotgun slayings of their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion, met with District Attorney Nathan Hochman on Jan. 3, but he has not decided whether he will support any actions that might lead to the brothers’ release.
The Justice for Erik and Lyle Coalition included more than 20 members of Jose and Kitty Menendez’s family, who organizers said are united in their support for a new sentence that “reflects Erik and Lyle’s abuse, trauma, and demonstrated rehabilitation over the last 35 years.”
