Los Angeles DA to decide on Menendez brothers' resentencing by week's end

Los Angeles 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 sexual 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. Gascón is considering two options for relief: a petition from the defense team based on new evidence and a California law allowing early release for long-serving prisoners deemed non-threatening. Both options require court approval.
