D.A. to decide on Menendez brothers' resentencing by week's end

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón will decide on the resentencing of Erik and Lyle Menendez by the end of this week. The brothers have been in prison for 34 years for the 1989 murder of their parents. New evidence has emerged supporting the brothers' claims of abuse by their father, prompting a reexamination of their case. Gascón noted that public interest has increased due to a recent Netflix miniseries and documentary about the Menendez family. Gascón mentioned two potential forms of relief for the brothers: a petition challenging the original trial's arguments and a California law allowing early release for long-serving prisoners. Both options would require court approval.
