Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is recommending the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez, he announced in a press conference on Thursday. “After very careful review of all the arguments that were made for people on both sides of this equation, I came to a place where I believe that under the law, resentencing is appropriate, and I am going to recommend that to a court tomorrow,” Gascón said.

“I want to underline: they were horrible acts. There is no excuse for murder, and I will never imply that what we're doing here is to excuse our behaviour,” Gascón added. “But I [also] understand how sometimes people get desperate. We often see women, for instance, who have been battered for years and sometimes they will murder their abuser out of desperation.”

Gascón explained that the legal team will be recommending to the court on Friday that the Menendez brothers would be re-sentenced for murder, and that it would mean they would be eligible for parole immediately, given their young ages at the time of the murders. He added

Currently, the brothers are serving life in prison without parole for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents. Jose Menendez was shot in the back of the head and Kitty Menendez was shot 15 times. At the time of the murder, Lyle was 21 and Erik was 18. Interest in the case was revived recently following the release of the Netflix series, "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story."

Acredito sim que eles foram abusados, várias pessoas testemunharam relatando os abusos.

I guess I'm the only one that finds this questionable . Is this setting a precedent for all convicted that claim abuse as grounds to reopen cases ?

China 🇨🇳 never wrongly imprisoned or executed anyone,
including millions of imprisoned Uyghurs in Xinjiang camps, and other thousands of executed Tibetan monks in Tibet. Never!

Espero que aprovechen la oportunidad que se les está brindando. Será muy difícil que se adapten a una sociedad que ha evolucionado y es diferente después de 35 años.

so this confresence was a waste of time..pretty much, they still have to go up for parole (if the judge agrees) and the prob. wont get it the first time or even the the 2nd betting they wont get out for awhile..all the attorneys are on TV the same thing the brothers killed for MONEY the parole Board knows also the just could say i give you "50 years" and they stay in

Non sense. They were adults and could have walked away. This is giving a defense to murder people because they wronged you.

The Menendez brothers. They did this for money.
There's no proof they were abused, and they should not have killed their mother. That was awful... Repeat they killed their mother to cover the truth.
They should not have killed their mother. She did not deserve to die....
