Menendez brothers' attorney plans to seek reduction of murder convictions

abc7news.com

The attorney for the Menendez brothers, Mark Geragos, is considering asking a judge to reduce their murder convictions to voluntary manslaughter. This move aims to expedite their potential release from prison. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón recently recommended resentencing for the brothers, citing new evidence. However, he maintains that their original convictions for premeditated murder should stand. If a judge agrees to the reduction, the Menendez brothers could be released immediately, having served the maximum time for voluntary manslaughter. Geragos plans to wait for the appointment of a judge before proceeding with the request.
