Attorneys for Erik and Lyle Menendez unexpectedly withdrew their motion to remove Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman from their resentencing case. The recusal request, opposed by Hochman and the state attorney general, was dropped before a Friday court hearing. The reason for the withdrawal remains unclear. The resentencing hearing is scheduled for May 13-14, with the brothers' potential testimony still undecided. The case stems from the 1996 life sentences for murdering their parents, and a recent push for resentencing, now potentially influenced by the DA's stance and upcoming risk assessments.
