Los Angeles DA recommends resentencing Menendez brothers in decades-old murder case

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced he will recommend resentencing Lyle and Erik Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents nearly 30 years ago. This could make them eligible for immediate parole. Gascón's recommendation follows a review that considered claims of abuse by their father. The brothers have been serving life sentences without parole since 1996. A judge will decide on the resentencing, with a hearing expected in 30 to 45 days. The case has gained renewed attention, partly due to a recent Netflix series. Gascón noted that public perceptions of abuse victims have changed since the original trial, suggesting a modern jury might view the case differently.
