Menendez brothers' resentencing moves forward as DA calls out 'deceit, 'narcissistic tendencies' in prison

The saga of Lyle and Erik Menendez ever seeing life outside prison walls could face a new hurdle after bombshell details from their Comprehensive Risk Assessment (CRA) depicted troubling behavior from both brothers. 

The details of the CRA came to light during court on Friday as Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman and his office fired off one last Hail Mary to have Judge Michael Jesic halt the resentencing process.  

Hochman’s office failed as Judge Jesic said “there was nothing significantly new in the CRA or otherwise for him to stop the process.”

But before the judge made his final ruling, which cleared the way for Erik and Lyle Menendez’s resentencing to proceed, Hochman detailed why new evidence in the CRA reports raised red flags, details he added were not in the original reports requested by former LA DA George Gascon. 

“Last time I looked, cell phones in prison are not a super strike,” he said. “The cell phone violations were known. I was the one who called the previous DA and said there’s a cell phone violation.”

Geragos then invited Hochman to the Menedez Brothers prison to see what they had accomplished in their 35 years behind bars. 

Lyle and Erik will return to the Van Nuys West Courthouse on May 13 and 14 for continued proceedings in their resentencing case.

With unresolved issues surrounding the risk assessment report, the upcoming dates will remain pivotal as the brothers seek resentencing following the 1989 murder of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez.
