Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said Monday he's asking the court to withdraw the previous district attorney's motion for resentencing for the Menendez brothers, calling the brothers' claims of self-defense "lies."
"We are prepared to go forward" with the hearing regarding their resentencing case, Hochman said at a news conference Monday. "However, we are asking the court to withdraw the previous district attorney's motion for resentencing, because we believe there are legitimate reasons and the interests of justice justifies that withdrawal."
The request to withdraw the resentencing motion is "based on the current state of the record and the Menendez brothers' current and continual failure to show full insight and accept full responsibility for their murders," Hochman said in a statement.
The resentencing hearing is set for March 20 and 21.
