The Menendez brothers‘ family is set to speak in just a few minutes about L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman‘s assertion that the brothers don’t deserve a new trial.

The Justice for Erik and Lyle Coalition — a group led by Menendez family members pushing for their release — is holding a virtual press conference where they plan to address key facts about Erik and Lyle’s case and respond to statements made by L.A.’s top prosecutor last week.

The coalition was formed late last year to advocate for the release of the brothers … despite the fact that their two victims — Jose and Kitty Menendez — were obviously also members of the family.

Last week, D.A. Hochman said the Menendez brothers’ alleged sexual abuse and two pieces of new evidence — the letter Erik wrote to his cousin detailing the alleged abuse and testimony by a member of the band Menudo claiming he was also abused by Jose — do not mean Erik and Lyle deserve a new trial.

We spoke with the D.A. earlier this week on “TMZ Live” … and, he acknowledged that evidence of the alleged abuse could be taken into consideration by a judge at the resentencing hearing next month — it just doesn’t change anything on his end.

He also says he listened to snippets of our “2 Angry Men” podcast where Harvey Levin and the brothers’ lawyer Mark Geragos talked at length with Erik and Lyle. Hochman says his team will review the show in full in the coming weeks.

BTW … this isn’t the first time the Menendez fam has fired off at the D.A.’s comments. In the immediate aftermath of Hochman’s press conference, the family released a statement accusing Hochman of silencing survivors of sexual abuse.
