Menendez Brothers’ Family BLASTS L.A. DA Nathan Hochman: ‘Why Does He Want Us to Suffer?’

Relatives of the infamous Menendez brothers accuse District Attorney of harboring a personal vendetta—Could the brothers’ hopes of freedom be crushed by a biased DA?

Family Outraged as L.A. District Attorney Targets Menendez Brothers’ Freedom

In a fiery press conference on March 20, 2025, the Menendez brothers' family erupted in frustration, accusing Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman of an inexcusable personal bias against Erik and Lyle Menendez. Tamara Goodell, a cousin of the convicted killers, claimed that Hochman has “treated us like we don’t matter.”

According to the family, Hochman isn’t just following the law—he’s actively making the case personal, putting his own agenda ahead of justice.

“Why does he want us to suffer? What’s his real reason for dragging this on?” Goodell blasted. The allegations have set the stage for an even bigger confrontation between the family and the power of the prosecution, turning this case into a full-blown fight for the Menendez brothers' freedom.

DA Hochman’s Stubborn Rejection: A Heartless Refusal to Let the Past Go?

The press conference came just 10 days after Hochman dealt a devastating blow to the Menendez brothers’ hopes for a second chance. On March 10, 2025, Hochman publicly rejected the brothers' request for resentencing, citing their lack of full responsibility for their actions.

But this isn’t just about justice—it’s about Hochman’s deep-rooted refusal to accept that Erik and Lyle may have been victims of abuse themselves. Hochman accused the brothers of lying for over 30 years, calling their claims of self-defense “fabricated” and demanding they “admit” to 16 alleged lies. In response, the Menendez family is furious. Is this really justice? Or is Hochman letting personal animosity cloud his judgment? This chilling stand-off between the family and the DA is far from over—and tensions are higher than ever.

The Hidden Dark Side of Hochman: What’s REALLY Driving His Vendetta?

Is it really about the law—or something deeper? Family members and supporters of the Menendez brothers now speculate that District Attorney Hochman might be motivated by something more than just professional duty.

Could it be that Hochman is personally invested in keeping the Menendez brothers behind bars for reasons that go beyond the courtroom? Some are wondering if the DA’s own history, his need to uphold a tough-on-crime stance, or even a personal vendetta could be driving his unforgiving stance against the brothers.

If Hochman truly believes in justice, why won’t he acknowledge the trauma that shaped the Menendez brothers' actions?

In the eyes of Goodell and others, Hochman’s refusal to move forward with empathy could be seen as a blind obsession with punishment, rather than a commitment to true fairness. What if this isn’t about the law, but about something much darker? Could it be that this case is so tangled in emotion, personal politics, and power struggles that real justice is being lost in the shuffle?

Menendez Brothers’ Family: “They Deserve to Be Free”

While Hochman digs in his heels, the Menendez family continues to defend Erik and Lyle’s actions. “They’ve been rehabilitated,” Goodell insists.

“If anyone meets Erik and Lyle today, they’ll see they’re not the same people they were 35 years ago. They’ve earned their second chance.” But Hochman won’t budge, keeping a tight grip on his stance that the brothers must take “full responsibility” before any form of leniency can be considered.

The clash between the family’s belief in redemption and Hochman’s unrelenting pursuit of punishment makes it clear: the stakes have never been higher. Will the brothers ever be released, or are they doomed to rot in prison forever?

The Clock Is Ticking: Parole Hearing Could Be a Final Hope

With the clock ticking down, the Menendez brothers are still facing the possibility of a final reckoning—but will it be their release or their death sentence?

The upcoming resentencing hearing on April 11, 2025, could be the brothers’ last shot at freedom. But will Hochman’s bias continue to cloud his judgment?

And with the parole board’s review on June 13, the final decision is fast approaching. If the brothers are deemed “too dangerous” by the board, their hopes for freedom could be forever dashed. The fight for justice is far from over, and as more revelations surface, the family’s anger and the legal drama are building to a boiling point.
