Erik and Lyle Menendez are firing back at Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman … telling him it’s stupid to compare them to Sirhan Sirhan because they actually admitted to killing their parents.

The Menendez Brothers distance themselves from RFK‘s assassin in new legal docs where they push back on Hochman’s motion to withdraw his predecessor’s motion to resentence them.

Hochman’s on the record saying Erik and Lyle should not gain their freedom, comparing their case to the denial of parole for Sirhan … but the brothers say there’s no way to seriously put them on the same plane as Sirhan.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Menendez attorney Mark Geragos says the main difference between Erik and Lyle and Sirhan is the Menendez brothers fessed up to killing their parents, while Sirhan claimed his innocence in the Kennedy assassination.

Geragos also takes some shots at Hochman … claiming the new top prosecutor in Los Angeles is conveniently leaving out facts from the Sirhan case to draw a false comparison to Erik and Lyle.

The brothers admit they initially told cops they didn’t shoot their parents before coming clean at trial about the killings and then claiming they were victims of sexual abuse at the hands of their father … and Geragos says they’re now rehabilitated after 35 years behind bars and no longer pose a threat to society.

Emotions ran high as a funeral for rapper Young Scooter was held today — just over a week after his tragic death on his 39th birthday.

The funeral went down Monday at Atlanta’s Saint Philip AME Church … with photos and clips showing Scooter’s casket carried out by heartbroken loved ones — all while other family and friends looked visibly shaken, saying their final goodbyes. He’ll be buried in his hometown of Walterboro, South Carolina.

Monday’s service was marked as a celebration of his life — white doves were released into the sky after the ceremony, symbolizing peace, hope, and freedom.

Young Scooter’s death occurred after a 911 caller claimed a naked woman was being attacked and dragged back inside a home … a house where Scooter was inside.

In what appears to be a case of “swatting,” Atlanta cops say they rushed to the scene, but none of the reported details checked out. During the chaos, Scooter — legal name Kenneth Edward Rashaad Bailey — ended up running out the back door, and seriously tearing an artery in his right thigh on a fence — an injury that sadly turned out to be fatal.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner released Young Scooter’s autopsy results, listing his death as an “accident.” He died on March 28 … his 39th birthday.

Tigers Assistant General Manager Sam Menzin quit his job with the ball club last Thursday … just as the Tigers were about to fire the front office executive amid an investigation into claims he sent lewd photos to female staffers.

According to The Athletic … they spoke with three women who claimed they received unsolicited photos of the now 34-year-old’s genitals dating back to as early as 2017. Two of them worked for the MLB team, while the other worked in baseball, but not for the Motor City squad.

The pictures were allegedly sent via Snapchat — which automatically deletes images after they’re seen.

“It’s like no one says anything because who is going to believe them when they say Sam Menzin did this? It’s not like a bat boy or security guard. It’s Sam Menzin.”

Menzin got his start in the Big Leagues as an intern with the New York Mets before joining the Tigers in 2012 as a baseball operations intern. He became the director of baseball operations and pro scouting in 2019 … before being named assistant GM in 2021.
