Two prosecutors claim they experienced backlash for backing the resentencing of the Menendez brothers


Two Los Angeles County prosecutors, Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford, claimed in legal filings that they were demoted and faced retaliation for supporting the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez. The prosecutors allege that they were transferred out of the district attorney’s office’s resentencing unit due to their work supporting the brothers’ resentencing and their perceived political association with former District Attorney George Gascón. Theberge also claimed that she faced discriminatory treatment based on her age and gender. Both prosecutors had supported the resentencing of the Menendez brothers and had authored a memorandum on the legal basis for their resentencing. The filings allege that after expressing their support for resentencing, they were demoted or had supervisory responsibilities taken away. The prosecutors claim that the retaliation was in part due to current District Attorney Nathan Hochman’s belief that they supported his political opponent, Gascón. The filings seek economic and non-economic damages in excess of $250,000 and $5 million, respectively. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office did not provide a comment on the matter. The Menendez brothers were convicted of their parents’ murders in 1989 and are currently serving life sentences without parole. The prosecutors’ support for resentencing aligns with the possibility of the brothers being eligible for parole, a decision that Hochman said he is still reviewing. Ultimately, a judge will determine whether the brothers should have their sentences reduced.
