L.A. prosecutor seeks new sentence for Menendez brothers after 34 years in prison
A Los Angeles prosecutor is seeking to resentence Erik and Lyle Menendez, who have been in prison for 34 years for murdering their parents. New evidence suggests they were sexually abused by their father, which may affect their sentences. District Attorney George Gascon plans to recommend a new sentence of 50 years to life, making the brothers eligible for parole. He stated that the new evidence could have changed the jury's decision if presented during their trials. The case has gained renewed attention, partly due to a recent Netflix series. Gascon noted a division within his office regarding the brothers' claims of abuse and their potential release.
