Two Los Angeles County prosecutors claimed in new legal filings that they were demoted and faced retaliation for supporting the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez , reported NBC News.
Prosecutors Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford filed
government claims alleging they were transferred out of the district attorney's
office's resentencing unit because of their work supporting the brothers’
resentencing and for their perceived political association with George Gascón,
the former Los Angeles County district attorney.
Theberge’s filing further claimed she was subjected to
discriminatory treatment because of her age and gender. Her filing said office
leaders treated her differently from younger, male colleagues, “undermining her
authority and professional standing.”
Both Theberge and Lunsford had supported the resentencing,
and from October they began to attend meetings about the motion for
resentencing.
The Menendez brothers were convicted of their parents’ murders in 1989, and in 1996 they were sentenced to life in prison without parole. They remain in a California prison.
