The Menendez Brothers may have had an unlikely ally in Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, but his successor doesn’t necessarily seem as motivated by public opinion.

LADA-elect Nathan Hochman will take over the role on December 2, and he went on to explain that if Lyle and Erik Menendez’s case lands on his desk, it will require a lot more work than just watching a television show.

“You really have to look beyond the Netflix documentary,” Hochman told Good Morning America on Thursday. “If you decide this case based solely on watching a Netflix documentary, you are doing a disservice to the Menendez brothers, to the victims’ family members, to the public.”

“Part of the problem with Gascón’s timing for his decision is that there is a cloud over that credibility. Is it a fair decision, or was it a political ploy?” Hochman wondered. “There will be no cloud in the sky about whatever decision I make.”

“I’m not going to ask for a delay just for the delay, we’re going to ask for the minimum amount of time it takes to do this work because we owe it to the Menendez Brothers, we owe it to the public to do this get right decision,” he concluded.

Gascón had previously sought revenge and even clemency for the Menendez Bros. recommended after the success of Netflix’s “Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story” and other similar docuseries. However, he was voted out of office in last week’s election, potentially delaying his chance of release before Christmas.

Last week, Hochman told TheWrap that he plans to become “thoroughly familiar with the relevant facts, evidence and law” before making a decision. Related hearings are scheduled for both later this month and in December.

Lyle and Erik, now 56 and 53 years old respectively, have been in prison since being found guilty of the 1989 double murder of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. Both were initially given life sentences without the possibility of parole in 1996.

“Monsters: The Erik and Lyle Menendez Story” and “The Menendez Brothers” are both available to stream on Netflix.
