Two Los Angeles County prosecutors who recommended the Menendez brothers be freed from prison allege they were punished by Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman and defamed online by one of his political allies, according to a letter reviewed by The Times. Brock Lunsford, who oversaw the district attorney's resentencing unit, and Nancy Theberge filed notices of claim Monday that they intend to sue Hochman and Deputy Dist. Atty. John Lewin for retaliation, defamation and discrimination.
These were two individuals who were just doing their job,' said their attorney, Justin Shegerian. Shortly after taking office, Hochman removed a number of Gascón's closest allies from leadership posts in the district attorney's office, according to transfer memorandums issued at the time.
