In a stunning turn of events, the attorney for Erik and Lyle Menendez has withdrawn their motion to recuse Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman and a Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge has set their resentencing hearings for next week.

The original April 17 resentencing hearing was halted after Hochman asked that the parties review one component of a comprehensive risk assessment, which is expected to be completed by the parole board by June 13, when a clemency hearing is scheduled.
