Statement from Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman on a Meeting with the Menendez Family

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to meet with approximately 25 members of the Menendez family to discuss their concerns regarding the ongoing review of the Menendez brothers’ case. It was a productive and important conversation, and I deeply appreciate the family’s willingness to share their perspectives.

This meeting is part of our thorough review of the facts and the law, including analyzing thousands of pages of confidential prison records, transcripts from two months long trials, and appellate decisions. In addition to speaking with victim family members, we are speaking with prosecutors involved with the case, law enforcement, and defense counsel in order to reach a decision on the habeas and resentencing motions that we will then defend in court.

I appreciate the opportunity to engage with the Menendez family and will continue to approach this matter with the utmost care and diligence.
