the second, a declaration by roy rossello, who says he was sexually abused by jose menendez, the father and lyle menendez. hochman argues that those pieces of evidence are either not admissible, not credible, or that there was a substantial delay in bringing them forward. he also argued that the menendez brothers lied at different markers before, during, and after killing their parents, and also said that while sexual abuse may have been a motivation, it does not constitute self-defense. the family of eric and lyle menendez released a statement saying in part, he opened the wounds we have spent decades trying to heal. he didn't listen to us. we are profoundly disappointed by his remarks, in which he effectively tore up new evidence and discredited the trauma they experienced to suggest that years of abuse couldn't have led to the tragedy in 1989 is not only outrageous, but also dangerous. they also called on hochman to, quote, follow the law and issue a resentencing recommendation. >> so with respect to resentencing, we have not finalized where we're going to end up, because it's not ju
