Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman has rejected the Menendez brothers' request for a new trial, citing insufficient evidence to meet the standard for a retrial. Hochman's decision follows former District Attorney George Gascon's earlier stance supporting a new trial based on a letter suggesting the brothers may have been abused by their father. Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted in 1989 for murdering their parents and remain sentenced to life in prison without parole.
