Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said a confidential three-hour meeting with family members of the Menendez brothers was “productive,” but he offered few details about what was discussed on Jan. 3.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of killing their parents at their Beverly Hills home in 1989. They were sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 1996.
