Los Angeles DA rejects reducing Menendez brothers’ prison sentences

Los Angeles County’s top prosecutor said he had withdrawn a recommendation to reduce the prison terms of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who are serving sentences of life without parole for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez.

In a reversal of his predecessor, District Attorney Nathan Hochman said there were “legitimate reasons and the interests of justice justifies that withdrawal.”
