The latest controversy surrounding Erik and Lyle Menendez involves a scathing email from their lawyer, Bryan Freedman, to the newly appointed Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman. Freedman accuses Hochman of bias in the case after he met with the attorney representing Milton Anderson, a family member who has publicly called the Menendez brothers “cold-blooded killers” and advocated for them to remain in jail. Freedman expresses concerns that Hochman, who has replaced two deputy district attorneys who supported the brothers’ potential resentencing, is unfairly prioritizing Anderson’s perspective over the accounts of family members who have been in contact with the Menendez brothers for over 30 years.
Freedman points out that Anderson has no direct knowledge of how the Menendez brothers have behaved during their time in prison and raises questions about the potential influence of Anderson’s lawyer, Kathy Cady, on Hochman’s decision to meet with her. This exchange highlights the ongoing legal battles surrounding the brothers’ conviction, as they have a hearing scheduled for next month where their defense team, including Mark Geragos, will argue for resentencing and a potential reduction of their conviction to manslaughter, based on new evidence that their father, Jose Menendez, sexually abused them.
