Prosecutor opposes Menendez brothers' resentencing, upending bid for release

Driving the news: Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman filed a motion Monday to revoke the request from his predecessor, George Gascón.

• Hochman laid out evidence that the brothers' murder of their parents was premeditated and raised questions about their claims of self-defense.
• "The Menendez brothers have continued to lie for over 30 years about their self-defense — that is, their purported actual fear that their mother and their father were going to kill them the night of the murders," Hochman wrote.
• "Also, over those 30 years, they have failed to accept responsibility for the vast number of lies they told in connection with that defense," he added.

Catch up quick: The brothers are currently serving sentences of life in prison without parole.

• Gascón had recommended to the court in October that the pair be resentenced for murder, removing their initial sentences of life without parole.
• Because both men were under 26 years old at the time the crime occurred, that would make them eligible for parole immediately.
