Erik and Lyle Menendez‘s relatives aren’t saying much about their first meeting with the new L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman … but he’s about to hold a news conference where we could finally learn where he stands on the case.
We caught up with the Menendez Brothers‘ attorney, Mark Geragos, and their loved ones outside the Hall of Justice in downtown L.A. … where they issued an update on their mission to reduce Erik and Lyle’s life without parole sentences for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez.

In the decades since, the siblings’ loved ones have formed the Justice for Erik and Lyle Coalition in the hope of getting them released from prison … with the family noting the brothers have been rehabilitated following their nearly 35 years behind bars.
Former L.A. County D.A. George Gascón supported a resentencing for the brothers, noting they’ve been model inmates during their time in prison.
However, after Gascón lost his November reelection bid to Hochman, Erik and Lyle’s initial hearing on the matter was delayed to 2025.
Since taking office, Hochman has not made it clear where he stands on the issue … though, he did meet with a lawyer of one relative who does not support Erik and Lyle’s release.
