Los Angeles County district lawyer Nathan Hochman said he asked court Deny Menendez Brothers’ Habeas Corpus requestthat aims to take a new trial or case.
Erik and Lyle Menendez submitted a request from Habeas Corpus to review new evidence that is not presented at the trial.
There are two new evidence at the heart of the request.
One Erik Menendez wrote to Andy Cano to his cousin eight months before the murder before his father described his alleged abuse. The cousin had reconstated the alleged abuse in trial, but the letter confirmed his cousin testimony – not found until a few years ago, according to the Anaien attorney.
The second piece Menudo, are the allegations of a former member of the Roy Rossello Madoi Banda, in 2023, raped by the father of Jose Menendez brothers.
In the following reserves, October 10, 2024, appear in Erik and Lyle Menende.

Hochman explains that the success of the habeas request has many requirements: you must show that new evidence; You must be eager to have evidence that it could not be in the trial period; You must show that you do not have delayed evidence when you learned and brought your motion; evidence must be credible; and evidence must be acceptable.
Hochman’s letter to Cano is not a compelling evidence.
“If this letter actually exists, if the defense advice was completely used in the trial” Cano and Erik would confirm the testimony of Menendez, Hochman reported on Friday.
Erik Menendez was also testified about the graphic descriptions of sexual abuse aged 6-18, and also talked about sexual abuses, neighborhood attorney said the district attorney.

He asked who told him, Menendez said that Cano said when he was 12 or 13.
Cano – when he died in 2003, proven in the 1990s and the same information appeared: Erik Menendez mentioned six years earlier than the murder and that was the only communication around sexual abuse.
This letter was never discussed in one of the two tests, Hochman said.
Erik Menendez said he didn’t know the letter until a special Barbara Walters published, but this movement of habeas was not presented until 2023, Hochman said.
The defense argued that the defense argued that the jury had to decide whether the brothers had molested sexually molested, but the jury should never solve this question, Hochman said. Instead, the jury was conspired to kill their parents, if they killed what situation, and if they could, if they had played in self-defense, Hochman said.
Hochman has said that Rossello’s claims did not know the allegations of Rossello, so he could not have been in recent years, so he could not affect themselves during their crime and “could not play in the head”, “defense or predetermined murder.”
The Justice of Erik and Lyle coalition, who defended the release of his brothers, declined to call the “evidence against abhorrent abuse”.
“We are terribly disappointed in his remarks, in which he caused new evidence and underestimated the trauma who lived,” the coalition said in a statement. “In addition to being a tragedy in 1989, there are no vacuum abuse. It leaves permanent scars, and the victim disperses fear and trauma. It is not the role of the psychological research in the cycles and ignoring the basic human understanding. “
The glue also maintained the second trial by the jury “he has not the whole truth.”
“It was kept from these key testimonies, and now it’s trying to delete this reality again,” said the statement. “Erik and Lyle’s experiences are not only excluded, those who remain alive are not believing, do not forget and protect a system designed.”
A brothers convicted 1989 in 1989 Parental Murder, Jose and Kitty Menendez.
Lyle and Erik Menendez, 21 and 18 years old, at the time, the parents put his parents home. The defense said the brothers play in self-defense after suffering their father’s abuse, but prosecutors reported that they were killed by money.
Lyle and Erik Menendez established two consecutive lives without being a conditional freedom.

In addition to the request of Habeas Corpus, brothers have been looking for two more Freedom pathways.
Another way is the resentment, and Hochman said he will address his offices in the coming weeks.
In October, the lawyers in the neighborhood of the George Gascón district announced Recommend the phrase of brothers life without removing paroleAnd instead, they should establish a murder sentence that would be a 50-year sentence. The two brothers were less than 26 years of crimes, immediately the right to Parole.
The Daren office said the resense of his recommendations takes into account, in prison and abuse rehabilitation and crime that contributed abuse. Gascón praised by Lyle and Erik Menendez did it behind the bars to rehabilitate himself and help other prisoners.
After completing the announcement of Gascón, he lost the race to re-select the Hochman.
Hochman said that Friday has not yet decided if it protects the resentment. The next hearing is March 20th and 21st.
The third path to freedom is through the clemency.
The brothers presented Clemency request California Gov. To Gavin Newsom. In November, Newsh said Hochman’s “Menendez Litigation review and analysis before studying, before making the decisions of the clemency”.
