Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced he will decide the fate of the Menendez brothers by the end of this week. This follows his review of new evidence regarding their claims of sexual abuse by their father. Gascón's office is divided on the case, with some believing the brothers should remain in prison, while others support a resentencing based on the new evidence. A hearing is scheduled for November 26, which could lead to a reduction of their life sentences. The Menendez brothers, Erik and Lyle, were convicted of murdering their parents in 1996. Their case has gained renewed attention due to recent media coverage, including a Netflix series.
