Two prosecutors from Los Angeles have stated their intention to take legal action against the new district attorney, alleging “harassment, discrimination, and retaliation” concerning the case of Erik and Lyle Menendez.

Brock Lunsford and Nancy Theberge, who were part of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office under former DA George Gascón, publicly supported the resentencing of the Menendez brothers in October 2024 after new evidence emerged. Hochman, who succeeded Gascón after the November election, had expressed willingness to review the case. However, Lunsford and Theberge claimed that, following Hochman’s assumption of office, they were demoted as a form of retaliation for their stance on the Menendez case.
