Los Angeles D.A. Opposes Menendez Brothers’ Bid for New Trial, Citing ‘Lies and Deceit’
At a news conference, Hochman stated that fresh claims of sexual abuse should not influence the verdicts for murder against the brothers, who were convicted in 1989 of killing their parents, Jose and Kitty. Additionally, he pointed out that the brothers provided inconsistent accounts regarding the murders and coerced their friends to support them by testifying untruthfully in court.
