The family-led initiative, for Erik and Lyle Menendez, called out Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman for failing to recognize the work the brothers have done over the past 35 years behind bars.

The family of Erik and Lyle Menendez is rejecting claims by the Los Angeles district attorney that the brothers hadn’t appropriately taken responsibility for the 1989 killing of their parents and says any lies they told during their murder trial were due to trauma and fear.

Supporters of Erik and Lyle Menendez are rallying together for the first time since the LA County District Attorney announced he does not support their recent sentencing petition.
