They spent more than 30 years in custody until former DA George Gasc\u00f3n filed a motion in favor of reducing the brothers&#8217; sentences and granting them eligibility for parole.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">District Attorney Nathan Hochman<\/a>\u00a0filed a request to withdraw his predecessor&#8217;s motion after his office reviewed tens of thousands of court documents, trial transcripts, prison records and other statements. Hochman claimed Gasc\u00f3n&#8217;s previous motion did not thoroughly consider whether the brothers had taken full responsibility for their crimes.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These murders were calculated, premeditated, cold-blooded killings,&#8221; Hochman said in a statement following the hearing. &#8220;Our position remains clear: Until the Menendez brothers finally come clean with all their lies of self-defense and suborning and attempting to suborn perjury, they are not rehabilitated and pose an unreasonable risk of danger to public safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The decision came after a roughly six-hour proceeding, during which the brothers appeared together virtually. After hearing the two sides,\u00a0LA County Judge Michael Jesic denied Hochman&#8217;s request, allowing the proceedings to continue next Thursday, April 17.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to get ahead of myself, but today is a good day,&#8221; the brothers&#8217; attorney Mark Geragos said. &#8220;Justice won over politics. It&#8217;s been a long time coming &#8230; We are obviously very thankful for this judge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The brothers have another hearing scheduled for Friday, April 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the decision, Hochman released a statement disputing Geragos&#8217; assertion that his request was politically motivated.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In denying our request to withdraw the prior DA&#8217;s resentencing motion, the Court rejected the Menendez brothers&#8217; argument that our request was based just &#8216;on the political winds,&#8217; acknowledging that this Office has pursued an impartial, non-political agenda in this case grounded in the facts and the law,&#8221; Hochman stated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2024\/11\/21\/3712b3a8-e3aa-4c71-8b67-9ebd91c6f97e\/thumbnail\/1240x817\/889152c208bd02daf3035f18db53da47\/gettyimages-1462355302.jpg?v=653dd6912cdd8596c9bfea812c355f95#\" alt=\"US-TRIAL-MENENDEZ \" height=\"817\" width=\"1240\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Erik Menendez and his brother Lyle listen during a pre-trial hearing, on Dec. 29, 1992, in Los Angeles after the two pleaded innocent in the August 1989 shotgun deaths of their wealthy parents, Jose and Mary Louise Menendez of Beverly Hills, Calif.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                VINCE BUCCI\/AFP via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Several of the brothers&#8217; relatives attended the hearing and celebrated the judge&#8217;s decision outside of the courthouse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s ruling affirms something that should have never been in question,&#8221; cousin Anamaria Baralt said. &#8220;The facts, fairness and the law still matter.
