In a significant legal setback for Erik and Lyle Menendez, a California judge has rejected their petition for a new trial in connection with the infamous 1989 murder of their parents. Despite claims of new evidence, the judge deemed it not particularly compelling. The rejection marks another chapter in the ongoing legal battles for the Menendez brothers, who have already faced a denial of parole. Prosecutor Nathan Hochman praised the decision, asserting that justice was served, while the brothers express intentions to continue fighting for their freedom.
