US EditionJudge to hear arguments over whether LA prosecutor should be kicked off Menendez case
- Erik and Lyle Menendez, convicted in 1996 of killing their parents in Beverly Hills, appeared for a resentencing hearing on April 17, 2025.
- The resentencing followed defense claims that prosecutors, including LA District Attorney Nathan Hochman, showed bias and should be removed from the case.
- Defense attorney Mark Geragos argued that Hochman's actions posed a risk to a fair hearing and filed a motion to recuse him on April 25, 2025.
- Geragos said the DA's office violated Marsy's Law by not supporting the Menendez family, while Hochman denied bias and called the defense's evidence insufficient.
- The judge will decide the attorneys' arguments before a final parole board hearing on June 13, which may influence clemency for the brothers after 30 years in prison.
