Fox News: New Menendez brothers prosecutor slams 'meritless' conflict claim in push to take case out of Los Angeles
Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman's office has dismissed claims of a conflict of interest in the Menendez brothers' resentencing case, asserting that discussions with victim family members are ongoing. Hochman aims to thoroughly review the case, unlike his predecessor, George Gascon, who faced criticism for his approach.
The Menendez brothers, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, are seeking resentencing under a new California law. Their attorney plans to request that the case be transferred to the California Attorney General's Office, citing a potential conflict due to a former attorney's new position in Hochman's office.
