New Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has a message for fans of Erik and Lyle Menendez: don’t rush to judgment as their Dec. 11 resentencing hearing approaches.

Hochman says the sudden interest in the Menendez brothers is likely because of a Netflix series and documentary about their crimes. To stay focused, the incoming DA said he hasn’t watched either.
