Los Angeles County D.A. Nathan Hochman will update the status of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving life sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents, and have sought clemency. Former D.A. George Gascón had proposed reducing their sentences, allowing the brothers eligibility for parole as youthful offenders. Hochman, after defeating Gascón, is set to review this decision. A forthcoming hearing will determine their potential resentencing. Meanwhile, Erik Menendez has spoken publicly about the bullying and trauma they've faced in prison, emphasizing its harsh conditions.
"Prison was hard for me. I faced a lot of bullying and trauma - it was a dangerous environment."
