Menendez brothers: LA district attorney asks court to rescind resentencing motion

Nathan Hochman says he would consider support only if pair fully accept complete responsibility' for 1989 killings

The Los Angeles district attorney has said he is opposed to the resentencing of Lyle and Erik Menendez, who have been in prison for decades for the 1989 killings of their parents, and said the brothers first needed to acknowledge and fully accept responsibility for the murders.

Nathan Hochman said at a press conference on Monday that he would ask the court to withdraw the resentencing motion filed in the case by his predecessor George Gascon. The new DA, who took office in December, said last month that he did not believe the brothers should receive a new trial.
