Two Los Angeles County prosecutors filed legal claims alleging they were demoted and faced retaliation for supporting the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez. Prosecutors Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford claim they were transferred out of the district attorney's office's resentencing unit due to their work and perceived political association with former District Attorney George Gascón.
Two Los Angeles County prosecutors claimed in new legal filings that they were demoted and faced retaliation for supporting the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez.
” Following Hochman’s election to DA in November, Lunsford was “stripped of all supervisory responsibilities,” his filing said. He was reassigned as of Dec. 14 as a calendar attorney in Department T of the Norwalk Courthouse, “a position he had held years earlier with no opportunities for promotion or advancement,” the filing said.
