New LA County DA to review evidence before deciding on potential release of Menendez brothers.

Los Angeles County's incoming District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, will review evidence before deciding on the potential release of Lyle and Erik Menendez, who have been in prison for nearly 35 years for their parents' murder. Hochman questions the timing of the outgoing DA, George Gascón's, decision to recommend resentencing and parole eligibility, suggesting it may have been politically motivated. Gascón defended his decision based on a 30-year review. The Menendez brothers have three paths to freedom: resentencing, clemency, or a habeas corpus petition. Hochman will examine new evidence and trial transcripts before making a decision.
