A Superior Court judge will hear arguments on April 11 on the issue of whether brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez, found guilty of murdering their parents in 1989, will be granted a resentencing hearing. The hearing is in response to Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman’s request last month to withdraw a motion for resentencing filed by his predecessor George Gascón in October of 2024.
Attorneys Mark Geragos and Cliff Gardner submitted a reply on behalf of the brothers on April 1, asserting that the DA’s motion to withdraw should be denied. The DA, in turn, filed a “reply to the reply,” restating the argument that sufficient grounds exist to withdraw the original motion for resentencing.
