THE Menendez brothers have been challenged to a bargain for their freedom by Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman.
Hochman slammed Erik and Lyle Menendez as liars and said he believes they should stay in prison for the shotgun murders of their parents 35 years ago at a bizarre press conference on Monday.

However, Hochman then offered the brothers a way forward if they want to go free for their crimes.
The brothers have asked for a resentencing as they’re currently serving life in prison without parole for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez.
After denying a new trial, Hochman said his office will move forward with the resentencing proceedings for the brothers – but it’s not going to be an easy road.
Former Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon announced he would recommend Erik and Lyle for resentencing in October 2024.
Hochman said his office has revised Gascon’s three-page plea to an 87-page document outlining the lies the brothers told after they shot Kitty and Jose to death on August 20, 1989.
He blasted the brothers for repeatedly lying to cops in the initial investigation and never owing up to it.
“They persist in these lies until this very day,” he slammed.
Hochman said the new proceedings will be asked to consider the “lack of full insight and lack of acceptance of responsibility for their murderous actions.”
But as the court is being asked to consider how the brothers lied throughout their trials, the DA offered some hope for the pair.
“We have laid out a pathway for the Menendez brothers to potentially get out of jail,” Hochman said.
“It requires them to finally, after 35 years, to fully acknowledge and accept responsibility”
