Two attorneys working for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office have filed a claim alleging they were both retaliated against by their superiors and demoted to junior positions. They claim that two weeks after submitting a resentencing memo recommending a release for Erik and Lyle Menendez, Nathan Hochman was elected to the office of L.A. District Attorney. According to them, harassment, and retaliation followed shortly after.
On Feb 3, Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford both filed notices that they intend to sue for discrimination and harassment, retaliation, Labor Code violations and emotional distress, among other theories. Theberge and Lunsford named L.A. District Attorney Nathan Hochman, the County of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office and Deputy District Attorney John Lewin in their complaints.
