County prosecutors of the allegation reprisals – NBC Los Angeles

Two deputy prosecutors of the Los Angeles County District alleged Monday in legal presentations that were withdrawn from their roles and assigned to new positions by the administration of the Nathan Hochman district prosecutor in retaliation for their support for the resentment of Erik and Lyle Menéndez in minor terms in prison.

The Nancy Theberge and Brock Linsford prosecutors said in the government claims filed before the county who also believed that the transfers were motivated by Hochman’s perception, the two were political supporters of former Da Da Da George Gascón. They also accused another colleague of making defamatory comments about them.

“Nancy and Brock are committed public servants and successful lawyers who followed the law: the law they believed that they would advocate for the resentment of the Menéndez brothers”, their lawyer, Justin Shegerian, sent an email in a statement.

Hochman’s office declined to comment on accusations in claims, which must be submitted and rejected before most demands may appear against government entities.

He took a charge weeks after Gascón announced at the end of October, with Theberge and Lonsford present, that the prosecutor’s office would request that the Menéndez brothers feel resonent, based largely on their good conduct during the years that passed in prison, fulfilling life without being. Terms of probation for the murders of their parents.
