Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman's move to block the Menendez brothers' bid for freedom is challenged by their attorneys, who assert it's driven by political self-interest rather than the case facts. Hochman's predecessor, George Gascón, sought to reduce the brothers’ sentences, arguing they were youthful offenders deserving of a chance at parole after decades in prison. Hochman counters that the brothers have lied about their involvement and failed to show remorse or responsibility, indicating their past abuse claims are unsubstantiated. The defense argues Hochman's motivation is more political than legal.
The defense argues that the current D.A. Nathan Hochman's refusal to support resentencing is politically motivated, lacking substantial legal justification or regard for the case's facts.
Nathan Hochman's actions are framed as an extension of political posturing rather than a principled stand on the legal merits of the Menendez brothers' case.
