District Attorney Hochman speaks on the court denial of Menendez brothers habeas corpus petition

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman is speaking on a recent decision by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge to deny the habeas corpus petition for the Menendez brothers: “I commend Judge William C. Ryan for his thoughtful and decisive ruling rejecting a new trial for Erik and Lyle Menendez, who remain in prison for the 1989 murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez. This ruling closes yet another door in the brothers’ long campaign to escape accountability for their action,” said DA Hochman. The writ of habeas corpus was submitted by Lyle and Erik Menendez in May 2023, suggesting the Menendez brothers were entitled to a new trial based on two pieces of purported new evidence. “The Court correctly concluded that, even taken together, this evidence would not have created reasonable doubt in the mind of even one juror. As Judge Ryan found, the allegedly ‘new’ evidence does not negate the overwhelming findings of premeditation, deliberation, and lying in wait that supported the Menendez brothers’ convictions for first-degree murder,” DA Hochman stated. “Until the brothers come clean and tell the truth, they will remain imprisoned not only by the walls around them — but by the lies they built themselves.”
