Menendez Brothers bid free will arrive in court

After decades of jail for the brutal murder of parents, the wait almost ended the Erik and Lyle Menendez brothers to fight for freedom.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Jesic ruled Friday that the brothers’ indignation hearing could move forward Tuesday after current and former Los Angeles County District Attorney and a series of legally fittings began to delay the matter. The hearing is expected to last two days in the Van Nuys Court Building.

The brothers were found guilty of special circumstances murder at their 1989 parents, Jose and Kitty, at home in Beverly Hills.

Erik, then 18, admitted to the murder in a conversation with the therapist, and the two were later sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. When the brothers claimed that Jose had sexually abused them and posed a threat to their lives, prosecutors argued that they killed their parents to obtain their millions of dollars in inheritance as early as possible.

The brothers have been hoping they spend their day in court since October. Atti. George Gascón asked the judge to qualify them for parole. Indignation could trigger their eligibility for parole through the state's young criminal law, as they were under 26 years old at the time of the murder.

Gascón cited the brothers’ work to create rehabilitation programs in prison, their low-risk assessment of correctional officers and potential new evidence about fathers’ alleged abuse as they should release their reasons.

But afterwards. Atti. Nathan Hochman defeated Gascón in November and vowed to re-examine the case. He said he did not support resentment, believed the brothers did not have proper "insight" of the crime and were still lying because they were afraid that their parents might kill them to cover up Jose's alleged abuse.

Hodgman had previously asked Jesus to ignore Gasco's motion and consider only the government's documents in the case, but the judge rejected the bid last month, saying "there is nothing new" in the documents.

Hochman appeared in court, rather than being assigned to the final prosecutor of the case, and again demanded that Jesus throw out Gascón’s petition on Friday. This time, his insistence that the information contained in the risk assessment report generated by the parole committee under the guidance of Gavin Newsom (considering the brothers’ tolerance requirements separately) was crucial for Gascon.

Jesus again denied Hockman’s request.

In recent weeks, a coalition of relatives released by Erik and Lyle have been controversial with Hochman, some of whom are the basis for a motion filed last month by defense attorney Mark Geragos, which attempts to disqualify Hochman and his prosecutors.

The family accused Hockman of being biased against the brothers at a meeting earlier this year and was "hostile, disdainful and patronized" to them. Geragos also argued that Hochman hired former prosecutor and victim rights attorney Kathy Cady, who previously represented the lonely Menendez who opposed the release, who was the director of the Victim Services Agency. Hochman maintained CADY was “quarantined” in the case.

The family also questioned Hockman's decision to transfer two prosecutors who filed a preliminary motion to resent the brothers. Attorneys Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford have sued Hochman for revenge.

Hawkman denied all the prejudice allegations and said he was just following the law.

Geragos withdraws his motion to disqualify on Friday, saying he has only regained his position.
