Overview

• Lyle and Erik Menendez have filed a motion to disqualify Los Angeles DA Nathan Hochman from their upcoming resentencing hearing, citing alleged conflicts of interest.
• The motion claims Hochman’s ties to Kitty Menendez's brother, Milton Andersen, the sole family member opposing resentencing, undermine impartiality.
• Hochman previously appointed Andersen’s attorney as head of the Department of Victim Services, raising concerns about fairness in the case.
• The resentencing hearing, postponed from April, is scheduled for May 9, following Governor Gavin Newsom’s request for comprehensive risk assessments in February.
• The Menendez brothers, serving 35 years for the 1989 murders of their parents, continue to assert that their actions were in self-defense after enduring years of alleged abuse.
