Dr. Phil unravels the Menendez Case with DA Nathan Hochman and Loni Coombs.
The Menendez case involves brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted in 1996 for the 1989 murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home. The brothers, who were 21 and 18 at the time of the crime, claimed they acted in self-defense after years of sexual abuse by their father, but prosecutors argued the motive was financial. In a recent development, District Attorney Nathan Hochman has taken a firm stance against granting a new trial for the Menendez brothers and has asked the court to deny Erik and Lyle Menendez's habeas corpus petition. Following his pivotal press conference, Dr. Phil spoke with the DA who tells him about his recent crucial decisions that could profoundly impact the brothers' legal status. Dr. Phil talks to Merit TV’s own Loni Coombs to unpack this case that has been grabbing our attention for decades now.
