Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman is providing a new development on the Menendez brothers case. The notorious siblings, Erik and Lyle, who are serving life sentences for murder, have a chance to have their sentences reduced.
After going through all possible appeals with no success and facing a bleak future behind bars, a recent California law has opened up the opportunity for resentencing. A lighter sentence could potentially mean the brothers become eligible for parole much sooner.
The resentencing hearing for the brothers was initially set to occur, but due to the district attorney election in Los Angeles, it was delayed until March 20th and 21st.
“Milton was profoundly grateful that District Attorney Nathan Hochman took the time to personally meet with him,” Dreiling said. “He found comfort in knowing that Hochman was not only well-versed in the facts and the law but also approached their conversation with genuine compassion and concern. DA Hochman’s willingness to listen meant a great deal to Milton in his final days.”
Andersen spent 26 years in the Army and Army Reserve, serving with the 82nd Airborne and U.S. Army Special Forces and retiring as a 1st sergeant, according to an online obituary.
He is survived by his wife, Sandra Rose Andersen, three children, 18 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
