Mystery surrounds the outcome of a discussion between loved ones of convicted killer brothers Erik and Lyle Menendez and the new Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman.
The family who are busy advocating for a ‘fair and just resentencing’ for the brothers had planned to provide comments at their own press conference as soon as their conversation concluded on Friday.
But in an odd turn of events, they cancelled just minutes after the meeting wrapped up.
When a reporter asked the reasoning behind the abrupt change of plans, Hochman bluntly responded: ‘I wouldn’t know one way or the other.’
Family members have been relentlessly calling for the brothers’ release for nearly 35 years after they were taken into custody at the ages of 21 and 18 for the murders of their parents.
