Reporters Inside Courtoom Recap Resentencing Hearing And what's next for the Menendez Brothers
Will the Menendez Brothers get Out of Prison? That's the question everyone is asking but for now...everyone will have to wait another month after the hearing abruptly ended. Joel & #BestGuests Josh Ritter and Robert Rand bring us all up to speed on the latest news today. Erik and Lyle Menendez's resentencing hearing started April 17th and was filled with tension and tempers. Erik and Lyle have served time in prison for more than 3 decades after attacking and killing their mother and father, Kitty and Jose Menendez. Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents on Aug. 20, 1989. The Menendez brothers testified that they killed their mother and father in self-defense after a lifetime of emotional, physical and SA. At the time, Lyle was 21, and Erik was 18. This high profile case has now come down to the brothers' attorney trying to get them released and Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman trying to keep both brothers behind bars.Get Joel's Book: Https://amzn.to/48GwbLxAll Things STS: Https://linktr.ee/stspodcastSupport the show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SurvivingTheSurvivorCatch us live on YouTube: Surviving The Survivor: #BestGuests in True Crime - YouTube Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

LIVE PRESS CONFERENCE! Menendez Brothers to be Resentenced?
Are the Menendez brothers one step closer to freedom? Today’s high-stakes hearing could change everything. #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor — the podcast that promises to bring you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. The Menendez brothers are back in court as a judge weighs the fate of Erik and Lyle Menendez, who’ve spent nearly three decades behind bars for the brutal slaying of their parents. With the new Los Angeles DA Nathan Hochman pushing to withdraw the resentencing motion filed by his predecessor, the courtroom drama intensifies. While the defense argues they should have faced manslaughter charges and already be free, the DA’s office accuses the brothers of clinging to a “bunker of lies” about their motives and the killings. Politics, public sentiment, and raw legal strategy collide in this pivotal moment that could open the door to parole — or slam it shut forever.

What impact could this have on the Idaho 4 murder trial? Join us LIVE as we unpack this courtroom bombshell with the #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. #STSNation! Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the show that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. Bryan Kohberger’s legal team is pushing back hard in court, revealing they plan to use his autism diagnosis in the case, not as an excuse, but potentially as mitigating evidence. Meanwhile, the prosecution has signaled they may call some of Kohberger’s family members to testify — a major development. Today’s hearing was packed with crucial rulings and heated debates: • Can prosecutors use inflammatory labels like “psychopath” or “murderer”? • The battle over prior acts: Kohberger’s Amazon purchases, his college essays, and bodycam footage from a traffic stop. • Debates over alternate suspects and the use of investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) evidence. • Major disputes over DNA evidence: inconclusive findings, touch DNA transfer, and expert witness qualifications. • The defense push to block use of the phrase “suspect vehicle” for the white Elantra. • Surviving roommate DM’s testimony — especially her memory of “bushy eyebrows.” • Arguments over the 911 call and its admissibility. • And controversy over the use of a 3D model of the crime scene house. We’ll break it all down with our incredible panel of legal minds. #BestGuests: • Skye Lozaro, Criminal Defense Attorney • Greg Skordas, Criminal Defense Attorney & Former Public Defender • Tara Malek, Boise-Based Defense Attorney & Former Prosecutor #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 #TrueCrime #QuadrupleMurder #MoscowIdaho #JusticeForVictims #TrueCrimeCommunity #TrialCoverage #KohbergerHearing #SurvivingTheSurvivor Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
