Two Los Angeles County prosecutors who supported the resentencing of the Menendez brothers are claiming they faced retaliation from the new Los Angeles County District Attorney, Nathan Hochman. Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford are seeking $5.25 million each in damages, alleging that their careers suffered due to department transfers at the end of last year.
The pair, who worked under former DA George Gascón, publicly advocated for the Menendez brothers' resentencing. They drafted a petition arguing for the brothers' rehabilitation and appeared at a press conference where Gascón announced plans for resentencing. Following Hochman's election, Theberge and Lunsford were swiftly demoted, which they believe was in retaliation for their advocacy.
