L.A. County D.A. Says He Won't Recuse Himself From Menendez Brothers Case

Nathan Hochman has sparked controversy by refusing to recuse himself from the Menendez case despite former partner calls for his resignation. He claims no legal basis to step aside due to potential Marsy’s Law conflicts over a personal connection to the Menendez family, though associates say he’s focused on minimizing accountability instead of addressing resentencing. A hearing on his recusal motion is scheduled next Friday following Gov. Gavin Newsom’s directive for a risk assessment on the brothers before clemency decisions later this month.
