Prosecutors claim retaliation for supporting Menendez resentencing!

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.

Prosecutors Nancy Theberge and Brock Lunsford filed government claims Monday alleging they were transferred out of the district attorney's office's resentencing unit due to 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 due to her age and gender. Her filing said office leadership treated her differently from younger, male colleagues, “undermining her authority and professional standing.”
