Fresh Hope for Menendez Brothers as DA Reviews Case The Los Angeles County District Attorney, Nathan Hochman, met with relatives of Erik and Lyle Menendez as part of an ongoing review of their high-profile case. While no decision has been made, the family and advocates for the brothers are hopeful for progress toward their release. “When I came into office, I committed to reviewing all the facts of this case,” Hochman said. He explained that the review includes thousands of pages of prison records, trial transcripts, and other legal documents. Additionally, Hochman is consulting prosecutors and defense attorneys from the case's original trials. Over 20 relatives of the Menendez brothers attended the meeting with Hochman, which he described as “very productive” and “an informal, off-the-record discussion.” According to Hochman, the family shared their perspectives and hopes for the brothers' release. Cousin Anamaria Baralt spoke briefly to reporters after the meeting, expressing gratitude for Hochman's time. “This 35-year process has been incredibly traumatizing for us, as I'm sure you can all imagine,” she said. Baralt reiterated the family's call for immediate release, stating that going before a parole board would “only serve to re-traumatize us.” The Menendez brothers were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home in 1989. While their defense argued the brothers acted in self-defense after years of sexual abuse by their father, prosecutors contended they were motivated by financial gain. Lyle and Erik, aged 21 and 18 at the time of the crime, were sentenced to two consecutive life terms without parole. In October, former District Attorney George Gascón recommended the brothers' sentences be adjusted from life without parole to 50 years to life, which could allow for parole eligibility. Gascón cited their rehabilitation efforts and the role of trauma in the crime. However, Hochman, who succeeded Gascón, is still reviewing the case and has not endorsed his predecessor's recommendation. Beyond resentencing, the Menendez brothers have filed a habeas corpus petition to introduce new evidence and requested clemency from California Governor Gavin Newsom. Newsom stated he would defer to Hochman's review before making any clemency decisions. The case has also faced legal complications. An attorney for the brothers recently petitioned to move the case to the California Attorney General's Office, citing a conflict of interest involving Hochman's recent appointee, Kathleen Cady. Cady previously represented a family member advocating against the brothers' release. Hochman assured the public that Cady is “walled off from the Menendez case.” The Menendez brothers are scheduled to appear in court later this month for a hearing in their resentencing case. For now, their fate remains uncertain as Hochman's office continues its thorough review. #MenendezBrothers #JusticeReview #NathanHochman #FamilyTrauma #Resentencing #PrisonRehabilitation #ClemencyHope Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Despite these challenges, she has been an award-winning author and advocate, working toward equity for those with Serious Mental Illnesses through herbooks, blog, and work with nonprofits including National Shattering Silence Coalition, Delight in Disorder, and Fresh Hope for Mental Health. Her passion is to share practical answers to living with and advocating for Serious Mental Illnesses.Questions:1. Tell us a bit about you and your experiences with Serious Mental Illness.2. How did you start advocating for those with SMI, and what does that look like in all the various channels you serve?3.

Exciting Podcast Alert! Hey everyone! I wanted to share an incredible podcast episode that touched my heart and shed light on an important topic. In this episode, Cristobal Krusen, the talented writer, director, and performer of the powerful movie "Let Me Have My Son," opens up about his personal journey as a filmmaker and how his son's battle with schizophrenia inspired him to create this moving film. "Let Me Have My Son" takes us on a gripping exploration of the challenges faced by individuals with mental illness and their families, providing a thought-provoking and dramatic perspective on their experiences. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the human side of mental health struggles. What makes this film even more special is Chris's son's excitement and hope that it can reach people for Jesus. The movie has received recognition and awards at both secular and Christian film festivals, highlighting its universal impact. Throughout the podcast, Chris emphasizes the presence of love, both from people and from God. He beautifully reminds us that even in the absence of human love, God's love remains constant and unwavering. Your pain and suffering are not signs of God's rejection or disapproval, especially if you're dealing with mental illness. Remember, suffering is a part of human existence, even for Christians. But take heart! Your suffering is temporary, not eternal. Lift your eyes up and fix them on Jesus. Trust Him and hold onto Him, for He will send you help in one form or another, offering relief and support. So, if you're interested in hearing Chris's inspiring story and gaining insights into the making of "Let Me Have My Son," I highly recommend checking out this podcast episode. Let's spread awareness, understanding, and love for those living with mental illness. Together, we can make a difference!

Join us as we dive into the inspiring story of Tim Fall, a judge who faced the challenges of running for elections for judge, receiving a mental health diagnosis, battling suicidal thoughts, and caring for his ill father. Tim's journey is a testament to the fact that it's okay to admit when we have a mental health diagnosis. It doesn't diminish our worth as individuals, Christians, or children of God. We all need help, and seeking support doesn't make us weak; it shows strength and a willingness to grow. Having the support of medical professionals, friends, and a Christian community is essential on the path to managing our mental health. You can learn more about Tim's incredible journey by reading his book, "Running for Judge." In it, he shares his experiences, insights, and lessons learned along the way. You can find the book on Amazon at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Running-Judge-Tim-Fall/dp/1725260867 Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Reach out for help and surround yourself with people who care. Together, we can foster an environment of understanding, compassion, and acceptance. Tune in to this thought-provoking podcast episode and let Tim's story inspire and encourage you. Let's break the stigma surrounding mental health and create a supportive community where everyone feels valued and understood. Judge Tim Fall is a California native who changed his major three times, colleges four times, and took six years to get his bachelor's degree in a subject he's never been called upon to use professionally. He's been a trial court judge since 1995 and has taught judicial ethics to California judges for twenty years. Tim was in private civil practice for a little over seven years before taking the bench and had not seen the penal code since law school. He's a quick study though (see the above comment about taking six years to get a four-year degree). Tim writes and speaks about being a judge with a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and seeks to remove the stigma of seeking treatment for mental illness. His mental health memoir Running for Judge: Campaigning on the Trail of Despair, Deliverance, and Overwhelming Success (Wipf and Stock, 2020) is available in print, as well as from Audible and Kindle.

New Podcast Alert: Protecting Our Children and Supporting Survivors The alarming number of men in jail for sexual abuse calls for our attention. It's crucial to understand that there are underlying factors and trauma behind these actions. We are excited to share a powerful podcast episode by Dr. Kelley, specifically aimed at parents. In this episode, she delves into effective ways to protect our children from sexual harassers and identify potential red flags. It's an essential resource for every parent to ensure the safety and well-being of their children. If you have experienced sexual harassment, please know that you are not alone. Seeking help is a vital step towards healing. This podcast also offers valuable insights for individuals struggling with their experiences. Remember, there is hope, and there is always a way out of your struggle. Tune in to the podcast now and let's work together to create a safer environment for our children and survivors. Dr. Kelli Palfy began her professional career working in adult and youth corrections. Here she noticed a disproportionate number of males in the prison system. As an RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) officer, she took an interest in investigating sex crimes and went on to specialize in sex crimes committed against children internationally. Here, she began to see that males were victims of sexual abuse too, and that there were very few resources available to them. She wondered if this was why so many males ended up in prison. As she combed through video evidence, she witnessed first-hand the grooming tactics commonly used by sophisticated pedophiles. After leaving the RCMP, Dr. Palfy obtained her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She wanted to support male victims, and sought to better understand the reasons why males don't commonly disclose sexual abuse. She is now a trained trauma therapist and public speaker on the topic of male abuse. Dr. Palfy currently runs a small private practice where she works with male survivors of sexual abuse, first responders and couples using Emotion-Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Approach, plus Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
