A bid for freedom via responsiveness between Lyle and Erik Menendez can move forward, the judge ruled Friday.
The Menendez brothers and the LA County District Attorney were once again facing each other in court.
The judge supported the hearing in courtesy of Lyle and Eric Menendez, despite opposition from district attorney Nathan Hochman.
Hochman recently retracted a request for denial from his predecessor, George Gascón.
Following the verdict, Eric and Lyle’s lawyer Mark Jelagos emphasized that justice has been “a long time” and added that the judge’s decision was “probably the biggest day since they were taken into custody.”
Lyle and Eric’s freedom were in line after 35 years of life at the lockup for the murder of their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez at their Beverly Hills home in August 1989.
The brothers were not present in person, but were sitting next to each other in blue jumpsuits on Zoom.
Many of their families attended the hearing alongside Cooper Koch, who played Eric in “Monster: The Story of Lyle and Eric Menendez.”
Their cousin Anamaria Baratt said, “Their conclusions were not based on sympathy or politics. They were based on evidence. They applied the law as it was intended. Eric and Lyle are fully responsible for what they did.”
“Extra” was with Eric and Lyle’s attorney Mark Jelagos and outside courtroom Mark Jelagos during the break, so he responded to the prosecutor showing a picture of the crime scene at one point, where his brother’s family was sitting in court.
He said, “I believe there is a court rule about it. [it is] Not only is it inappropriate, it is generally a sanctionable act. ”
LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman previously told “Extra” that he had decided to withdraw his brother’s previous DA recommendations on responsiveness, with the words “better clean.”
Hochman said: [then] Courts should consider these new insights, as well as the District Attorney’s Office. ”
Their cousin Anamaria Baratt said to us, “It won’t happen, right?
Another cousin Tamara Goodell said about Da before.
Billy Bush from “Extra” spoke about the cast with TMZ’s Harvey Levin, and his view was “the way Eric and Lyle’s team see it, and they’ve already confessed those lies because they were cross-examined about everything about it during the trial.”
kfi am Report The brothers were able to listen to other resentments on April 17th and 18th.
