Menendez brothers may face resentencing as prosecutor reviews case for parole eligibility

Lyle and Erik Menendez, convicted of murdering their parents in 1989, may have their sentences reviewed. Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon announced he will recommend resentencing, which could allow for parole eligibility due to their ages at the time of the crime. The brothers, now 56 and 53, have served nearly 35 years in prison. Gascon's recommendation follows new evidence suggesting they were victims of abuse, which supporters argue contributed to their actions. A judge will ultimately decide on the resentencing. Gascon's announcement comes after renewed public interest from recent Netflix productions about the case. Legal experts indicate that the process for any potential release will take time, and the brothers are unlikely to leave prison soon.
